The problem I see with your suggestion, Bob, is that it would be basically 
citing the exact same work that is cited in the first 670.  Ordinarily, we 
wouldn't use a 670 OCLC citation when the only thing we were citing is the 
work we already had cited in the Work cat. citation.  Your second 670 to 
me implies that there are OTHER resources by the author in OCLC that have 
that heading and usage.
