Hopefully Bug 19833 took care of (most of?) them.

As a human-readable term I prefer "Bibliographic record number."
However, operations which reference biblionumber should all be fairly
technical, and thus a technical term might be appropriate. I'm curious
what edge cases there might be that don't fall into the "technical"
category.

On the other hand, if we expect these more technical users to know
what biblionumber is... how did they learn?
