The BIBFRAME Work In the current draft does now have the expressionOf and hasExpression properties defined so a BIBFRAME Work could be either a FRBR Work or a FRBR Expression (or presumably some other kind of creative work used by another scheme), which does happily mean we can carry on talking about Expressions.

The only "whatever" on the horizon is Bibframe. Like MARC, Bibframe has no expression record. I suspect expression data in Bibframe will be divided between Work and Instance records, mainly instance ones, unless "work" is more narrowly defined. "Thinking RDA" will make "expression" relevant in neither MARC nor (without major revision) Bibframe. So let's stop talking about expressions for now. Apart from the complicated arrangement of RDA, the concept is irrelevant to creating recprds in MARC. unless greatly changed, in Bibframe..
