When one has questions about RDA and is so closely involved in the import of RDA to one's work, wouldn't prudence argue for acquiring a copy of the standard in question? Even if one wishes to eschew RDA's use generally and wants to avoid the ongoing subscription costs, there is now a paper version available for use as a reference text: pairing "strongly worded" with being unknowledgeable is rarely a felicitous combination.
