I already include all the authors (and always have) because I tend to get asked for "everything X has written" by my users quite a lot so I found I was creating more work for myself by using the "et al" rule. I think it's quite common in rare books libraries generally to put all of them in, is it in DCRM(B)? (Too many rules, too many acronyms!!)
