I think we all agree that a hardback and a paperback are two different 
publisher products. My impression was that one of the reasons that those 
are put on the same record today was to avoid showing the user two 
"copies" of the same thing when most users didn't care. We don't create 
two records for c.1 and c.2 for that same reason. I think a lot is going 
to depend on how easy it is to manage good user displays from our data. 
(And I'm not implying that the user displays in MARC-based systems are 
some high standard we should hold ourselves to.) Is a new print product 
by the same publisher with the same text an instance? or a copy? What 
makes for a significant difference to the user? Whatever we decide the 
answer to that latter is, we need to have those distinctions in our data 
so the display can make use of them.
