chopinhauer has been adding most of the cantata discs lately, so perhaps 
you should ask him. If you agree on something, then so probably will the 
voters :)

Chopinhauers edit notes on 
http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8499645 and
http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8402331
indicate that different editions of the huge set is put together 
differently, so you need to take some care with the numbering.

Perhaps it is not so bad, because from what I see of the product listings on

http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2001/Dec01/BrilliantBach.htm
http://www.bach-complete-works.com/

the volumes look pretty much the same. Hopefully it is acceptable to 
have one entry only for most of the discs with multiple release events.

Now, in addition the cantatas have been released separately in multiple 
volumes, but they are named in a fashion that doesn't clash with the box 
set name - at least that is my impression after seeing 
http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B00004R8XE.


A final off-topic note: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/ASIN says "there's 
[probably] a 1:1 correspondence between releases and ASINs"


hm.... does that make sense for a case like this? Is it not acceptable 
to add multiple ASINs to e.g. 
http://musicbrainz.org/release/3954d3db-dfcd-4f31-9773-438b2bf3ed78.html?
