And interestingly, even without current patch default linker will not link a
heading if there is a difference in the internal punctuation (inside a
subfield)  but will will link when there is a difference in letters. 

To illustrate: with ktd standard data, with ES, 
1. try to link: Heylin Clinton.  [no comma] --> no result
2. try to link: Heylin,  Clinton.  [two spaces after a comma] --> no result
3. try to link: Heylin, Clintön.   ['ö' instead of 'o'] --> match and linked!

And the form in the authority record is 'Heylin, Clinton.'

So it is now that "punctuation difference" or "whitespace difference" make
linker not to link. It is not the current patch that prevents this or changes
something here.
