Notes from discussion with Lydia: Anticipating that the current edit flow (with the edit decisions to replace the current value, or to update it with a new preferred value) will be expanded with the capability to edit more than one statement, as long as exactly one of them is best (i. e., preferred rank, or normal rank if all others are deprecated), we suggest a name along the lines of “**single best value**”. This describes the invariant of the data, so to speak: this edit flow can operate on any statement group (selected by entity and property ID) which contains a single best value (editing that value), and either edit decision of this edit flow preserves that characteristic – either the single best statement has had its value replaced, or there is a new single best statement and the previous one has been demoted to non-best status. (This demotion need not include an actual change to its rank if it was previously the only normal-rank statement.) The contrasting edit flow we envision is something like “multiple best values” or “multiple values”, which would be suitable for e. g. someone’s children: you have a list of equally-ranked values (we’re having trouble imagining a scenario where different non-deprecated ranks would still be used), and they remain equally-ranked afterwards, no matter whether you’ve added another value, replaced one of the existing values, or even removed some of the existing values. (That is not to say that the implementation of that edit flow would offer all those capabilities; this is vague and fuzzy, at least to me.)
