This is my major argument with RDA.  If revising, please consider
restoring correlation between transcription and access points.

If not justified, one is dependent on $4code or $eterm to know the
relationship of the traced person to the manifestation being
described.  Many libraries are planning to strip off $4 and/or $e to
avoid split files.

I would prefer that the option to omit persons has one transcribe at
least three, not one, for each function.
