Summary: confusing semantics for book sections vs. articles

Initial Comment:
> • When entering a book citation, the user is presented with a field for
> "title of citation" and a field for "title of book". What's the difference?
> When entering a book section citation, the user is presented with a field
> for "title of citation", "book section", and "book title" -- again, "title
> of citation" is redundant with "book section title", but at least in this
> case entering in either box seems to fill the same field. My guess is that
> the correct behavior should be the following:
> Journal:
> Citation Title -> title_field
> Journal -> journal_field
> Book:
> Book Title -> title_field
> Book Section:
> Section Title -> title_field
> Book Title -> secondary_title_field
> In other words, we should not have redundant entry points for "title of
> citation" and either ("book title" or "section title").  Also, in each case
> the title_field gets filled, in one case the article title, another the book
> title, and the third the section title.  Do I have this field usage correct,
> or am I mistaken?
