It does, which is why `xmlmarc2textmarc' has a special `--aleph-marc' CLI switch that generates basically the following: 123456789 FMT L BK 123456789 LDR L ^^^^^nam^^22^^^^^^a^4500 123456789 008 L ^^^^^^s^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^r^^^^^000^0^eng^d As Samuele said, we don't make much use of leader in Aleph, we simply generate some generic value to satisfy the system.
