Hmmm...  I considered it just the opposite, because if you couldn't tell
from the WorldCat records whether or not something was really LC in OCLC
for BFM purposes, then how could you put that same vague info in the 670
of the NAR, which implies certainty AND is more or less permanent?

Any clarification would be appreciated and is needed.  I'm all ears.
