  All I'm saying is that the established heading was incorrect according to 
AACR2 AND there was no justification given (or need) for the dates. It was 
not incorrect (or considered unnecessary) under AACR2 to correct incorrect 
headings or to add information justifying them. I'd guess the same would 
be true of RDA records.

  I see no reason to change THAT emphasis!  :)
