Paul M. points out that it DOES matter which form goes into the 245 and which goes into the 246, since some systems out there may not index the 246, and RLIN definitely uses the 245 for clustering records for the same book together.
This being the case, I strongly recommend putting the biblical romanization in the 245 and the "common" romanization in a 246. I was a bit worried about how some libraries say "Mishnah verurah" instead of "Mishnah berurah"--that would entail quite a cleanup! But it seems "Mishnah verurah" is not biblical. Can anyone tell me what it does come from, and if "verurah" is in any powerful sense "better" than "berurah"?

Hotem tokhnit is taken from a verse in Ezekiel. In this case, it's clear which is the correct form. I guess we should still do a 246 for the variant, to aid the masses, n'est ce pas? Barry
