In my opinion, most "de facto" standards aren't worth the paper they're not written on. So, I ask:- 1. What other systems are using 949 for items? 2. Aren't all 9xx tags local use? http://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/specrecstruc.html#local 3. Could an OCLC-MARC/Koha-MARC filter achieve the same thing?
