The focus on "eligible" probably concerns them most because Section 106 of NHPA kicks in for eligible buildings even if they're not on any register of historic places. It pains me when preservationists fight battles for meaningless buildings and end up losing credibility needed to save the important stuff. Eligibility determinations should maybe have a finite life span. The feds just call something eligible and then they wash their hands of any need to seek national register listing, and its concomitant research and ultimate decisionmaking.
