Maybe.  But this is a published paper from 1998, by the
"International Federation of Library Associations' Study
Group on Functional Requirements for Bibliographic
Records".  I can't find an e-mail address for such
comments and as that was 6 years ago, it's unlikely
to be a live topic at the moment, even with its
authors.

OTOH, the fact that a study group of *librarians* would
use terms in their database recommendations without
actually looking them up in a dictionary gives one
pause, and perhaps a little concern about adopting the
standard.  Still, it does seem to be a compelling
design.

I'm betting this was already caught by someone, but
as my only contact with FRBR was through this project,
I thought I should bring it up.  Is there a more
recent/authoritative source for FRBR I should be
looking at?

Cheers,
Terry
