Subject: Final call for discussion (was: RE: [DCRM-L] DPC: Mandatory
note on supplied date inconsistency)

Discussion will close at the end of Monday, December 6. 

Two changes proposed, re-worded here for purposes of voting: 

1. Proposed changes to "If the date of copyright or deposit does not
represent the probable date..." [DCRM(B) 4D6.3 and DCRM(S) 4D5.3]:

Existing text: "If the date of copyright or deposit does not represent
the probable date of publication, distribution, etc., note it
nonetheless and supply a more accurate date of publication,
distribution, etc., in square brackets. Provide an explanation for the
supplied date, if possible"

Proposed revision: "If a date of publication, distribution, etc., does
not appear in the source and the date of copyright or deposit does not
represent the probable date of publication, distribution, etc., note it
nonetheless and supply a more accurate date of publication,
distribution, etc., in square brackets. Provide an explanation for the
supplied date."

2. Proposed change to "Patterns for supplying a conjectural date"
[DCRM(B) 4D5]: 

Existing text: "Give any needed explanation in a note"

Proposed revision: "Indicate the basis for the conjecture in a note"
