Carl,

LCRI 22.1 has been re-written to cover the matter.

If one must use a compatible heading in formulating another heading (subordinate body, uniform title under a personal name, etc,) or is revising the compatible name authority record for other reasons (adding a 670, adding a reference, etc.) one must revise the heading to make it AACR2.

Otherwise, if using a compatible heading in a bibliographic record, one may revise it to AACR2 or use it as is.

I seem to remember a while back a shift in policy regarding already-established name headings that are coded as AACR2-compatible -- about changing them under certain circumstances. I cannot remember what the change was, however. Who has that clearly in mind, please?
