We have had discussed the idea at Talk:RXNCOD at length. I prefer to provide Rubric as the attribute name allowing us to use it for NautInf as well. Using RTITLE implies that the attribute is limited to Res/Rec/Reg.

If the discussion at RXNCOD comes to a final solution the attribute details can be developed here.

The word "rubric" does exist in English but it is not common or widely understood. In my dictionary it means "Heading of a Chapter or section" so that feels good. The dictionary also explains "...used to indicate conduct in a church service" and that this entry was often in special lettering or in red, hence "rubric". Latin - rubrica = red. So my conclusion is that "heading" or "title" are both valid and probably better modern english words. However I favour something which would give a bit more of a general impression: perhaps "subject"? This might allow a briefer, even one word item, rather than trying to capture exactly the formal "Heading" of the law or the chapter or section, within it, which gave the reg.
