Well, I stepped in it on this one. Rereading the FRBR report ( http://www.ifla.org/files/assets/cataloguing/frbr/frbr_2008.pdf) I see that regular-print and large print can most certainly be the same expression. So that brings us back around to Adam's original question. It would seem some tweaking of Appendix J is needed no matter what!
