In regards to adding terms to Revised Nomenclature: sometimes one simply
has to do so.
For instance, "television" is not there. I really don't think there is
anything else to call it. At least, not in a family setting...;-) Also,
as someone who has spent years working with ethnographic musical
instruments, most instruments are not included.

The idea to keep in mind is the structure of the classifications and
making certain that any additions go into the correct category. Also,
making a note about the addition so future staff/researchers will know
what has been done.
