Dear Dan,

Thanks for opening up the magic box of persons, personae and roles! Have you 
looked at what FRBRoo has to say about personae, e.g., section 1.3 on page 
18-19 in 
http://www.cidoc-crm.org/docs/frbr_oo//frbr_docs/FRBRoo_V2.0_draft_2013May.pdf ?

I am not sure I fully understand how you would model such a Persona - Bill 
Clinton is still Bill Clinton (in a realist sense) even when he acts in the 
role of president?

Could you give an example of a problem you would need the new subclass to solve?

Kind regards,

Øyvind
