[DCRM-L] Rubicated throughout?

I have seen in many a bib. record and have on occasion use in cataloging
works the phrase "rubricated throughout" to describe a text that contains
printing in black and red (the red printing often extends beyond initial
capital letters). My boss questions the use of this phrase, but based on
Carter's definition I think it's correct. The collective wisdom of the list
would be helpful in settling this matter.

Best,

Will
