OCLC Online Computer Library Center Issues in Use of Options  Inability to use standard numbers  Inability for others to understand optional numbers  Implementation rules needed for Options A and D, and for displaced notation in Option B

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Discussion  Are attendees using options in religion?  Should we replace Option A with the modified version?  Should we consider a new optional development that redistributes the notation in a chronological/regional approach?  Are there other approaches (e.g., browsers, deeper expansions)?
