[DCRM-L] Introduction comments

[Manon Theroux]

It's true that core started out as a PCC endeavor, unlike full, but 
since the current reality is that any library can create a core-level 
record, just as any library can create a full-level record, I think 
it makes sense to account for all 4 variations of these two levels in 
some way (full, core, PCC full, PCC core). Especially if it might 
help to eliminate confusion about options! If we wanted to downplay 
the BIBCO aspect in the Intro sections on core and full, we could put 
the sentence(s) about the BIBCO authority record requirements in 
footnotes. I think Joe was arguing along these lines at one point, wasn't he?
