When you get right down to it, the only purpose of a call number is to
physically collocate materials on the shelf and it's not really that useful

This is going to be tricky. AFAIK, you can't modify the call number result
table on the fly without proxying since Mil doesn't let you get at the
routine that renders the call numbers.

cynthia, I can't help you but I can encourage you -- honestly, the call
numbers alone (especially in LCC where the notation is not a strict
hierarchy) are close to useless without the meanings. One might even
make the meanings more visible than the call numbers themselves (bolder,
placed first)
I'm thinking of trying to enhance the call-number browse pages on a
Millennium catalog with meanings of the classification ranges taken from
the LoC Classification database.
