It allows it (obliquely). Quoting from RDA 1.7.1: When the instructions in chapters 2–4 specify transcription of an element as it appears on the source of information, apply the general guidelines on capitalization, punctuation, symbols, abbreviations, etc., given under 1.7.2–1.7.9. ... *Alternatives* If the agency creating the data has established in-house guidelines for capitalization, punctuation, numerals, symbols, abbreviations, etc., or has designated a published style manual, etc., (e.g., *The Chicago Manual of Style*) as its preferred guide, use those guidelines or that style manual in place of the instructions given under 1.7.2–1.7.9 and in the appendices. ... And what is 1.7.9? "Inaccuracies." -- Mark K. Ehlert Minitex <http://www.minitex.umn.edu/>
