[DCRM-L] wormholes

[Laurence Creider]

Perhaps the Provenance Evidence list might be named something like 
"Post-Production Evidence." It seems to me that we are generally talking 
about changes in a specific physical item after binding, whether these be 
worming or annotations or whatever.

"Extra-illustrated copies" would become so pre-binding or at least before 
a final binding (if the extra illustrations are inserted into a book 
issued in a publisher's binding), so they would be an exception or would 
need to go into another thesaurus.

The term "Copy-specific evidence" might be appropriate except that it 
would logically include binding terms for early and some later books.

Anyway, a thought.
