Each page should be of the format:
Commonly Agreed Standard:
This should explain what is uncontroversially agreed by all about the topic
Recommended:
Where there are alternatives possible within the CAS (for example word-by-word/letter-by-letter sorting) the recommended alternative.
Alternative: Alternative: Alternative:
Each possible alternative
Standard Variant [standard name]
The alternative recommended by a particular standards body, e.g. ISO999, CMS, NISO
Rationale:
Each section above must be accompanied by your best guess at the logic behind the standard. Rationales should explain why the use of the particular standard makes an index easier/quicker/ more efficient to use.

Suggestion
An alternative, not at yet recommended by any standards body
Rationale:
This too must be accompanied by a rationale.
