Completing schema:article

Shlomo mentioned that he needs markup for articles as well as 
monographic creative works. There is a subclass of CreativeWork for 
article, but it is minimal:

articleBody (which is intended for the actual text of the article)
articleSection (like a newspaper section, or "Letters")
wordCount

Another subclass, scholarly article, doesn't any any new properties. 
Looking at how one makes the connection between articles and OpenURL 
resolvers, it looks like we need to add these to schema:Article:

ISSN
journalVolume
journalNumber
journalTitle

We also need a starting page or page range. schema:newspaperArticle has 
"printPage" and that might suffice.

There already is a URL property inherited from Thing, but I wonder if 
that will be sufficient for the ubiquitous DOIs which often aren't 
presented in their URL form. Although I'm not sure about adding a 
specific property for DOI, I'm sure that many would find it useful.

What have I missed?
