But when the authorized form of the heading changes because of the
variations in title, the NACO participants change to series authority
records, or changes to AACR2 rules, then the 440 change to 490 1^ and an
830 addition is required. Otherwise you have a wrong reference.  In this
case, III is doing EXACTLY what should be done.
