In this note we show that if 𝓛 is a commutative subspace lattice, then every trace-class operator in Alg 𝓛 lies in the norm-closure of the span of rank-one operators in Alg 𝓛. We also give an elementary proof of a recent result of Davidson and Pitts that if 𝓛 is a CSL generated by completely distributive lattice and finitely many commuting chains, then 𝓛 is compact in the strong operator topology if and only if 𝓛 is completely distributive.
