Dear Rebecca In message <[log in to unmask]> via [log in to unmask], Haavard Hjulstad puts the matter very succintly, at the end of his email: > I don't see any great problems if LoC also in the future encodes their > Norwegian holdings as "nor" only. > > CONCLUSION: I am very much against the proposed un-doing of a final > decision that was made two weeks ago.

The expansion of the coding > mechanism should be on the agenda in connection with the revision > process some years from now. I wholeheartedly agree with Haavard about LoC implementations (the code "nor" has not been deprecated) and with his conclusion.
