I'm confused. I look at <issuance>monographic</issuance> and think "OK,
obviously we're talking about issuance rather than just whether a
record is a standalone object."  Are you hinting that maybe the coding
in MARC is a mistake?

And would we agree that a book chapter's host would have the
"monographic" issuance, and a journal article's would have
"continuing"?

I basically made this argument that in the TEI example below, the
monogr element really ought to be "serial," and am now not sure if
that's right.
