Subject: Variant uniform titles

There's been a lot of discussion of pros and cons of using place as the
qualifier for serial uniform titles when corporate body and *present * place
of publication is not used as qualifier even though decades may have elapsed
since the serial was issued from it, and the serial is commonly identified
with present place. Many catalogers would prefer some sort of system for
being able to have uniform title "mean" something, like a corporate body
closely associated with the serial.

Feedback please (and this message goes out to Mitch Turitz, who has often
advocated this sort of reform in LCRI 25.5B).
