Re: David Cook: "I'm thinking that there should be some mechanism for updating
an existing framework."

Koha requires that the "Default" Framework must remain, unedited and available,
in Koha. This is the area to do all MARC21 updates, hopefully with each update
of Koha. 

As David Cook noted, a library may set up a unique Framework that does not have
all of the MARC fields and subfields when such a library is specifically
attempting to keep things simplified and efficient. 

I am the only cataloger among seven people who add bibliographic records to our
system. I ran reports to see which MARC fields were used, checked the ones that
were used only a handful of times (to see if they were used correctly), and
changed all of our records back to the Koha Default Framework. I deleted all
the other frameworks (as none of their fixed fields were coded correctly) and
painstakingly created a "new" default framework, deleting fields and subfields
that are obsolete or not relevant to the work that we do. 

The most important thing to me, regarding MARC updates, is that I do not have
to start from scratch using the Koha Default Framework. As long as the
information is added to the Koha Default Framework, I can manually look it up
and manually add it (correctly) to any of my unique Frameworks.
