Correct me if I'm wrong, but was it not at least partially because of such new media and the mixing of electronic with other characteristics (such as audio or visual materials) (especially materials on the Internet) that actually began this whole movement toward a new set of rules other than AACR2? I think that it is rather ironic that the things that seem to be easiest to catalog in RDA are, for example, a monograph (which were not much of a problem in AACR2) ... and the things that we continue to be having issues with in RDA is cataloging this "new media" ... and mixed media such as a kit (and other realia items -- games, 3D objects, equipment, etc.)
