[DCRB-L] DCRM 7C14

[Hillyard, Brian]

"Accordingly, give references as illustrated below.  Begin the note with the
word "References" and a colon."

Reading through 7C14 it struck me that this instruction to use "References:"
is one of those leftovers from card-cataloguing days (you could say that
MARC21 510 subfield a doesn't accommodate it; and I won't mention indexing
problems).  We could change it to a recommendation that any non-MARC format
display of the  record should be headed in this way, but as DCRM isn't about
OPAC display I think it would be better to drop this instruction altogether.
