Agreed, but as noted previously I was adopting the approach used by
Series/Season/Episode as a means of not building too many
prerequisites into the proposal. Managing scope and all that.

A strategy I've been musing about, though, was to bring forward the
proposal to public-vocabs with the full set of partOf*/has*
properties, but mention something like "Note that this introduces 6
new hasPart/partOf* properties, and that's only likely to grow over
time; we also happen to have this Collection proposal [1] that would
solve this problem generally. Wouldn't that be nice? Would you like to
see an alternate version of this proposal that uses Collection?"
