A small point perhaps, but we rarely key the name of a common
publisher of legal materials.  We either have it on a macro key,  cut
and paste if cataloguing an electronic resource, or edit from the
record for a similar title from the same publisher.

We find keying takes less time than proof reading and correcting
publisher data.  They often have differences from the item such as
numbers as digits when spelled out on the title page, or vise versa.
