The other question is: do we anticipate that "Issuance" will be used with any resources other than Periodical resources? The answer to that question could be significant for its placement in Schema. No. X is a sub-class of Y implies that every X is a Y. So if there's an issue that is not a collection, then issue is not a sub-class of collection. And I see nothing that would intuitively warrant that all issues of a periodical are themselves collections of stuff. But perhaps I'm wrong, and you're using 'periodical' in a much narrower meaning than the one I'm used to (I'm not a librarian, I confess ;-) ).
