Hi Matthew,

You are correct in your understanding. Some projects use 
biblScope where they should use citedRange because citedRange is 
a more recent addition to the TEI.  It was first added in TEI P5 
version 2.3.0 
http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P5/2.3.0/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-citedRange.html 
in January 2013. Before this, biblScope sometimes did double duty 
to cope with cited ranges as well in some projects.

(Just some history so people are reminded how much the TEI is a 
developing, community-based standard.)

Those wanting this to be a suggested value... I've added an issue 
here on github:
https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1555
feel free to add your voice, clarifications, or objections there.

-James
