Not only does access point construction fall squarely within the scope of RDA, it is actually a fundamental part of it. In a world of shared bibliographic information, I totally fail to see how we can facilitate access apart from having standards for the construction of access points.
Besides, the IFLA international principles (still in draft status, but nearing finalization) http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/icc/imeicc-statement_of_principles-2008.pdf cover provision and construction of access points and authority control in sections 5 and 6; and RDA is explicitly aligned with these principles. Further, this is the point of having RDA aligned with FRAD (Functional Requirements for Authority Data), as it is with FRBR.
