Ben, I'm sure they can't be "moved" in a kind of mechanical sense, but 
have you tried changing the underlying edition data? The question then 
is whether they get re-evaluated for Work "belonging" based on the new 
data. If there is no re-evaluation process based on updates, then my 
suggestion won't work.

I do recall that we've talked about this or something very like this in 
the past, but I don't remember the outcome.

kc

p.s. I'll try a few and see if anything happens.
