[Heb-NACO] draft letter on handling of rabbinic compilations by a singe author

[Robert M. TALBOTT]

Hi Heidi, Everyone else:

I read through the proposal, and it seems to be a realistic analysis and
reasonable request.  I have often wonder about this myself; there are only
so many hours in a day (fewer if you're saddled with a metric clock).

It might be more compelling to have a clearer notion of what's wanted or
what will work for those of us in the trenches. So: the proposal ends
asking either for an exemption or a simplification, and I was wondering
what a simplification might look like? Every compilation by a single
author regardless of genre = Works.$k Selections (without further
distinction)? Something else?
