I don't know. I'm confused.

I find this particularly unhelpful, from 19.2.1.1

"A person, family, or corporate body responsible for compiling an
aggregate work may be considered to be a creator of the compilation if the
selection, arrangement, editing, etc., of content for the compilation
effectively results in the creation of a new work."

And by FRBR. If the editor(s) is/are responsible for the creation of a
work, are they creators?

Or is it, as it was in AACR2, that editors can only be contributors?

Help!
