It would seem clear to me that 010 LCCN, 020 ISBN, 022 ISSN, and all
standard numbers including 016 LAC #, relate to the manifestation (aka
instance), not the work.

I too am concerned by the omissions and mapping.  The bibliographic
universe is far more complex than Bibframe to date seems to assume.
