Adam,

The first part is correct. We are just omitting the 'b' subfield for the resource we are cataloging from.

Is the intent of this change to omit $b (name not given) that we should 
just cite the resource being cataloged in a 670 with no $b at all, or that 
we should not include a citation for that resource at all?

It has been reported and confirmed that the link from the "Most Recent Update" of the resource summarizes when and what was revised in the file.  However, a change to a sentence in the 670 was missed. The appropriate correction has been made and will appear in the May issue of Cataloger's Desktop (see below).

Automated authority record generation programs may supply additional information from the bibliographic record from which the authority record is being made, e.g., complete statements of responsibility. In order to maintain the cost effectiveness of these programs, use judgment in deciding what information can remain in the subfield $b and what is really extraneous to the record being created and should be deleted.
