Yes--the semicolon is rarely used in titles.  And your idea about the span &
class would be great!

I think the slash in the 245 ("/") is misapplied.  Most catalogs don't have it
at the end of 245 subfields because it is not terminal punctuation.  It is not
supposed to be at the end of a field, but is supposed to *precede* the 245 $c
(statement of responsibility) only if the $c is present.  So it is like this
semicolon for the 4XX & 8XX $v that we are discussing--it is supposed to appear
preceding a field only if the field is present.  Have a slash appear as
terminal punctuation is not proscribed by AACR2, AACR2R, or RDA.  (RDA D.1.2.2,
"Precede the first statement of responsibility by a diagonal slash.  Precede
each subsequent statement of responsibility by a semicolon.")
