I'm taking the example from page 16 of the BIBFRAME document as being an 
illustration of serializing BIBFRAME data.  I don't believe it's intended to 
show with certainty what granularity there is in BIBFRAME.  (In fact, it even 
says, "The following example does not reflect a full MARC 21 to BIBFRAME 
mapping."  It seems pretty clear to me from reading the whole document that it 
is still a work in progress, so I can't imagine there is any such thing as a 
definitive list of BIBFRAME elements.)
