Mary Seddon has the right idea.  And she should know as the historic
collections she maintains are very important and locating material is much
more important that worrying about placement into hypothectical higher
groups.

As for collectors not accepting the "new arrangement" it strikes me as
strange that although the collecting fraternity is always at the
"establishment" to identify and classify material they don't always want to
accept the answers.
