I don't recall any NACO rule saying it would not be correct to add the
proposed cross-reference, but there are 2 rules [*plus an unstated one?]
which say it would be acceptable:
1. Justified by spelling in the 1st forename following the comma;
2. Catalogers' prerogative-- OK if a cataloger thinks it would be useful;
[3. No harm, no foul?]
Cheers!
