This is a very valid fear. The most valuable goal in this situation might be to cover the use cases which obtain basic agreement on their likelihood and the design by which to support them, but in such a way as to provide for extension. This is why I'm a fan of Rob Sanderson's approach which trades out relationships for types. That is typically (pun thoroughly intended!) a more extensible style of design for a model like Bibframe.

I'm not against uncommon use cases, but in re-reading all of this just now I started feeling like the agenda was being set by uncommon use cases. In reviewing the above, and looking at the BF Vocabulary, I'm not clear about the intent of titleSource.
