Richard, I'm not sure I understand.  They've been assigned different
URLs because they're different records.  The problem is, we don't
*why* it's a different record.  I don't think it's a "no-brainer" -
the raft of different properties could easily appear because they're
different editions (and, therefore different Manifestations of the
same Expression) or simply because the records were entered by
different people/organizations.
