Hello,

	There have always been some exceptions to the requirement to create 
authority records for works and expressions, such as analytic entries. 
See the BIBCO Participant's Manual, Section II, E5.3. Preferred 
titles/Conventional Collective Titles/Authorized access points for works 
and expressions (http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/bibco/documents/bpm.pdf)
