Oh, I didn't realize it was "AACR2-compatible". All I noticed was that the heading didn't change at all except for removing "Sir" (which actually meant that it was in fact the AACR2 heading, not merely compatible, but oh, well)

Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

The Churchill heading was upgraded from AACR2-compatible to full AACR2. 
Changes to the related corporate body headings for the Prime Minister were 
what prompted this other change.
