Re: Proposal to include ISNI

The difference is that in the case of ISNI, the canonical URI schema is provided by the body maintaining the ISNI identifiers.
For ISBNs, there is no authoritative URI pattern available, despite the fact that there exist several services that return representations for (typically a subset of) ISBNs.

Second, there has been a history of not deprecating / removing existing elements from schema.org, so even if your argument was right, the case for ISBN would be different, since it already exists in schema.org.
