Of course, MARCXML doesn't solve all the problems, but one big one will be out of the way.
Oh get real, Jim! The plain text format of MarcEdit can do the same, with an absolute minimum of effort when compared to MARCXML. Don't overlook the constraints of our actual ecosystem. Where ISO can't be avoided, for some updating or transfer purposes, MarcEdit can still be converted both ways with existing tools. Where MARCXML is desired, it can be produced from both ISO-MARC and MarcEdit. MARCXML must be looked upon as an add-on, not a requirement or necessity to escape the present, unsplendid ISOlation.
