"Blank forms" is in Genre Terms, but unscoped. AAT has a scope note for
"blank forms" that reads: Forms whose spaces provided for information
have not been filled.
The AAT scope doesn't sit quite right with me, because it's combining
both a genre (blank form) with copy-specific information (hasn't been
filled out). Does it make sense to anyone else that if and when RBMS
gives a scope note for this, it should apply to all copies of the
edition, regardless of what has happened to the form after distribution?
I also wonder why anyone would be interested in blank blank forms, but
not in filled-out blank forms.
Thoughts?
