Justin, I'll try copying your message to RDA-L.
Your point that MARC21 coding could automatically produce some AACR2
notes, such as "Includes and bibliographical references and index" is
a good one. Print (i.e. display) constants for indicators in 246

In my experience, including ISBD punctuation in MARC records provides
very facillitation of enabling "better mapping " by software. And
sometimes gets in the way. I happen to have been working on this
recently, an attempt to map things not fully specified in MARC by using
the ISBD punctuation
RDA includes ISBD.
There is an entire Appendix devoted to how RDA maps with ISBD and what
punctuation to use, etc.
The Joint Steering Committee has a representative on the ISBD Review Group to
assure harmonization, and we are now working together about the GMD
