Perhaps need for distinctiveness should influence date inclusion in

dates, they are needed?
Interesting idea - very pragmatic.
In relation to at head of title data, the most frequent occurrence for
us is motion pictures, e.g., "Walt Disney presents ...". That goes in
246 1 $iAt head of title:$a ..., not 245.
Yes, that had come to my mind as well. But this is a straightforward
case, covered separately in RDA 2.3.1.6 (Introductory words). I was
looking for examples where the first bit on the t.p. is less prominent
(e.g. smaller font) than a later bit, but which is not of the type
"introductory words".
One of the examples from the French cataloging rules in my other mail
(thread "avant-titres") comes could be used, although you might still
see it as a case of introductory words. Here's the example again (this
time, I'll leave out all the accents to avoid possible "character
garbling"):
Je roule sans accident! [Texte imprime]
_En note_: Avant-titre : "un professionel de l'auto vous dit..."
_Commentaire_: L'avant-titre apparait en petits caracteres au-dessus du
titre propre.
