[SAC-FAST] more on FAST sample

[Stephen Hearn]

Mostly the sample FAST set shows FAST performing to spec. A few more 
oddities to add to the ones Sherman's noted:

01002ccm        LCSH "650 Operas $v Vocal scores with piano" becomes 
FAST "650 Operas $x Vocal scores with piano" Why the $v-to-$x change? 
Any chance of "655 Operas" and "655 Vocal scores with piano" instead? 
(It is on an opera recording.)

00763njm        LCSH "Popular music $z New Zealand $y 1961-1970" 
(another recording) yields (among others) "648 1961-1970"--if one 
were manually entering FAST headings, would the year of issue be used 
instead of the span? The 260 $c has "[ca. 1970]"--if yes to the 
above, is that just "648 1970"? Or would FAST done originally not add 
a 648 date in this case?

00736nam        FAST misses LCSH headings "655 Historical fiction" 
and "655 Love stories"--presumably because LC hasn't issued the 155 
authorities yet?
