We continue the AACR2 [18--] as opposed to [date of publication not
identified].  We will never use that phrase (AACR2 wisely did not
allow [nd]).  We know it was not published in 2014, which the patron
would not know in 2014; I know of no ILS which displays 005.

It is easier for us to use [18--] than [between 1800 and 1899], which
would require us to know "between" in various languages, as we had to
know "by" before ISBD's "/".
