I agree. However, I still mention this to folks since I can't judge who does or who doesn't care about this sort of thing. On the double punctuation point in particular, I add that I don't lose any sleep if there's a missing period. Below is a link to the cheat-sheet I created summarizing what end-of-field punctuation looks like in RDA records, limited to the 245 through 5xx fields. It's based on LC/PCC/MARC practice and colored by the current edition of the ISBD. <http://goo.gl/p0pWp> -- Mark K. Ehlert Minitex <http://www.minitex.umn.edu/>
