I'm assuming that this is only true if you "modify your local XSLT file to point
to the icons you want to display?" I think that's an important
clarification to make here.

Is this also true only if you modify the XSLT file for the detail
page? Because it's not true for the normal view.

This isn't the case at all. I can't add a new item-level authorized
value and expect it's associated icon to display in the list of
waiting holds, or on the list of checkouts on opac-user.pl.

Yeah, I agree that's a messy solution.

I did leave one thing out from the wish list:

- Enable ccode as a search limiter in the advanced search.
