I agree, although I'd use (a) iff the entries are really the same
(even to the <biblScope>) and use (c) otherwise. I'd also be inclined
to stick a sameAs= on each <bibl> that points to the same item, even
if the <biblScope>s are different. (Some folks might argue that
sameAs= isn't viable if the <biblScope>s are different, though, in
which case we'd have to use a <link>.)
