Ummm; 130 and 240 are convenient short hand for "uniform title as main entry" and "uniform title after main entry for filing". What <bf:term> has been created for these two elements? There seems to me to be a tension between being short enough for ease, or being long enough to be explicit. Some of the RDA 336 content terms and $e relationship terms are far too long.
