Thank you, Bernard.

Another way to look at this, whether you are working with computer code for
Koha, etc. or with the conventions and rules for cataloguing a book, journal,
etc. on Koha.

Imagine you are doing everything right. And then Koha comes along and adds or
removes punctuation, even though what you have entered in Koha cataloguing is
correct. To me it still feels like humans have told Koha to overrule other
humans' work, based on an assumption that Koha knows best, when Koha has been
misinformed by humans about these issues of punctuation.

Basically, Koha is ignorant of the differences of how people catalogue (a
significant number of people in the English-speaking world use Marc21), but
dictates one approach to all people using Koha. Surely that must be seen as
wrong, and against the spirit of Koha offering diversity and options to
configure things. Koha's behaviour here is not open, it is set on satisfying
the needs and helping one point of view of how to catalogue.

Can this please be considered in principle by someone who develops Koha, and
makes decisions what Koha is supposed to do and not?
