A side discussion, but I don't understand the difference between the 
"defined whole bibliographic entity" you mention, and a FRBR Work in the 
first place. I think that's what a FRBR Work already is.  So I'm not 
sure what the FRBR group rejects, unless they're agreeing with me that 
that's what the Work entity already is.

What reasons will a FRBR Work not work as this "bibliographic whole 
entity", or how do you see it being different from a FRBR Work?  I 
suspect that some such failings of FRBR Work may really be reasons that 
FRBR Work needs to be tweaked or enhanced, not reasons you need another 
entity.
