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. __ __ J.
