[DCRM-L] Area 4 comments

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Thanks, Sara. I'm impressed at the checklist scrutiny. 
However, I do I regret the confusion about AACR2 vs. AACR 2. The
editorial checklist is obsolete, and I haven't yet been able to get hold
of the most recent one. The correct usage is AACR2. This is a change
from DCRB; I'm not sure why DCRB had the space inserted before the 2,
because as far as I know, AACR2 (without the space) has been the
standard abbreviation all along. 
I don't think there are any other out-and-out wrong statements on the
checklist. D.

I also noted the problems listed below.
Additionally:

Pg. 75   4B4.  Change "AACR2" to "AACR 2"

Pg. 83, 4D1.1.    Delete the space between the first period and the
second 1
 
Pg. 85, 4D2.5.    Last line -- the 12 referring to the footnote should
be superscripted
 
Pg. 86, 4D2.5.    First example under the last paragraph -- should this
be 12/13 September 1750?
 
Pg. 88, 4D5.       Font sizes in the left column are not consistent
 
 
 
Some suggestions about comma placement:
 
Pg. 69, 4A1.       For consistency with the other paragraphs, I would
put a comma between "colon" and "unless" in the 4th and 8th paragraphs
 
Pg. 71,               5th line, comma between "importance" and "while?"
footnote 11
 
Pg. 77, 4B10.2.   2nd line, commas after "Leningrad" and St.
Petersburg?"  
 
 
Other than these few things, the section looks good, with much fuller
explanation of the rules.
