[Koha] Seeking opinions on the OPAC MARC views

I'm guessing the visibility of 952 in your framework is set to hide it
in the OPAC

OPAC's with XSLT preferences turned on will have the modal MARC view
available in the OPAC. Those that don't will not. I've never seen a
properly-functioning Koha OPAC which displayed the "raw" view as a
normal full-page HTML display. I'd like to know whose is doing that.

The back button bug is present in all versions, but I don't think
anyone has ever filed a bug report in Bugzilla for it--and I hope I
would know, it would be assigned to me!
