I am not sure as to the date of the atlas being described, and whether
DCRM(C) might be applied. Given the origination of the post coming from
JCBL, that might be the case. There is a wiki for discussion of
potential changes:  http://dcrmc.pbworks.com/w/page/6107912/FrontPage .
Within those pages is a discussion draft of the physical description
area: http://dcrmc.pbworks.com/f/dcrmc+gamma+20110126+ch5.doc .

I am not sure how much this helps the current query, but a number of
general principles are certainly represented.
