it would add complexity to a library OPAC to distinguish between locally created MARC records which may be available for download, and 3rd party which might not.
In theory, that information should be findable in MARC21 by comparing the data in tags 008/39 and 040 with the library's own MARC code to figure out what was locally-created. In practice, a lot of records seem to have nonsense in 040, so it would have to be controllable by cleverly-designed preferences with a default of "offer nothing for download".
