I think one of the issues that was giving some people pause was that it can be desireable to describe a manuscript that presents itself as a book the same way that a book is described, so not even having the option of Area 2 for an edition statement was a problem. Deborah mentioned in person that DCRM(B) could add an appendix on using DCRM(B) to catalog manuscripts.

I imagine this would be useful for typescripts such as screenplays, which present themselves formally and are mechanically reproduced. Though unpublished, they're circulated by a corporate distributor. For example, you could end up with something like:
As you like it by William Shakespeare [manuscript] / screenplay by Kenneth Branagh.
Production draft.
[S.l.] : HBO Films & Shakespeare Film Company, 14/03/05.

The appendix would be analogous to DCRM(S)'s projected appendix on manuscript serials, and DCRM(G)'s appendix on cataloging material with title pages as graphic material rather than as books.
