I fully agree with your's and Alexander's point of view.  The default
Invenio setup should be such that MARC indicators are treated in the
least-surprising way.

The best way to achieve this would be to create a couple of new demo
records, covering various MARC indicator use cases, after which we could
alter indexes/formats/etc and write test cases to ensure things are
working as expected.

Would you volunteer to provide some demo records for this purpose?

Perhaps a Spanish or a German poem for the Poetry collection, or a book
record for the Books collection, or maybe new records for a fully new
collection of Manuscripts or something similar.  A new demo collection
may be the cleanest thing to do in order not to mix existing and new
markup in already existing demo collections.
