Interesting observations. I'd worry a bit about stretching the semantics too much. Part was conceived to explicitly refer to the metadata that locates an analytical within a larger work. That doesn't mean it couldn't be broadened, but I'm just a little unclear of how would one use mods:part in the content of mods:titleInfo? And if it was used in that context, what is the semantic meaning of mods:part? BTW, just to reiterate two remaining issues I'd like to see addressed in MODS v4, one of which is related to this discussion: 1) the more-than-one-name-variant-in-a-mods-record issue I've posted on a few times (and will probably continue to do so) 2) markup within mods:titleInfo *My* interest in 2 is a little different than Ruth's I think (as in, I just want html-like tagging to indicate emphasis, or a foreign phrase, or title-within-title, etc.), but perhaps they're still related?
