For preceding the $e with a comma, see the LC PCC PS for 1.7.1 Access Points in Name Authority and Bibliographic Records (General)

Punctuation/spacing within access points. Use internal punctuation to set off unambiguously the units of access points (including name/title portions of name/title fields). The marks of punctuation for this purpose are a period ( . ), a comma ( , ), a quotation mark ( " ), a question mark ( ? ), an exclamation mark ( ! ), and a hyphen ( - ). What other mark of punctuation would you use for a relationship designator? And see the examples given in MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data at: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdx00.html Under: e - Relator term Designation of function that describes the relationship between a name and a work, e.g., ed., comp., ill., tr., collector, joint author. 700 1#$aSmith, Elsie,$d1900-1945,$eillustrator. 700 1#$aHecht, Ben,$d1893-1964,$ewriting,$edirection,$eproduction. For not including the comma when the field preceding the $e ends with a hyphen, see the same LC PCC PS instruction. If you have provided one mark of punctuation, you do not need to add another mark of punctuation.

The closest I ever got: "A comma is used ... to separate date, number, place, or designation from the name or heading..." (AACR1, North American edition, p. 369). Page 10 refers to "comp.," "ed.," etc., as designations of function. -- Mark K. Ehlert Minitex <http://www.minitex.umn.edu/>
