No, that wasn't what I meant, Stephen.

What I had understood was that all of the tags one wanted to be able to use
in Koha had to be defined in the MARC tag structure under Parameters, that
any fields not listed there would be lost, so that they would be potentially
displayable, usable behind the scenes at least.
