Yes - we pulled the extremely knowledgeable and helpful Peter Olson
and Henry Andrews into our discussions (perhaps to their chagrin!) and
after a flurry of discussions an initial attempt to synthesize
Periodicals + Comics, thought it was better to nail down Periodicals
first and continue on with Comics as a specialization thereafter. Feel
free to peruse the pertinent subset of the 145 messages last month at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-schemabibex/2013Dec/index.html
:)

For what it's worth, I don't think we're terribly far off with Comics,
and I plan to pursue it in the near future, but would like to have the
base Periodicals solidified first.

As ScholarlyArticle is just a subclass of Article and adds no
properties, there's no difference other than name, right? So yes, all
of Article will apply equally to ScholarlyArticle. And I suspect that
most of the conversations around Article really had ScholarlyArticle
in mind; certainly most of the examples took that bent.

Was there something specific you expected to see regarding
ScholarlyArticle-specific improvements that you didn't see?

Thanks,
