I would not be so hasty to fault AACR2 or credit RDA for the insight. Going back to the dictionary, any standard English dictionary, you will likely not find cm in its list of Signs and Symbols, but if you go to Metric system likely you will find Unit: centimeter, Abbreviation: cm. CM without a p

Apparently in AACR2 we have continued considering "cm." as an abbreviation (it's still there in Appendix B). In RDA we consider "cm" as a symbol. I guess the best way to look at it is, "AACR2 wasn't really right about this, but as long as we're using AACR2 let's just keep consistent in being wro

Not sure about a "simple rationale". But perhaps a "simple rule of thumb" would be: 1. For transcribed elements (including words quoted in notes), don't abbreviate what you see on the resource. 2. When recording other elements, generally don't abbreviate, except for the following
