Gotta give some credit here to Olwen as well. Having an old school database
programmer on your team sure helps you get a nice normalised database. Which
is what the biblio->biblioitems->items split achieved. 
No redundant data (well minimal).

There is no reason this cant still work eg

The data is all there (this is 2.2.0) just need to tweak the opac templates
a bit to get it to display.
