>Rules says when omitting numerous places, "use the mark of omission and 
>add after it in square brackets a phrase...:"
>Example provided:
>260 $a Dublin [and 6 provincial towns]
>needs marks of omission.

>4D2 states that when omitting "insignificant information" , indicate with 
>marks of omission. None of the examples have marks.
>Also, do you see any contradiction with 4B3 where the rule states to omit 
>elements "not connected to the imprint by grammar.." without using marks 
>of omission? Information not connected to the imprint could be the same as 
>"insignificant information", could it not?
>In 4C2 of DCRB, p. 31, the two (insignificant information and addresses
