[Koha] Should XSLT add punctuation?

[Rubén Fernández Asensio]

Hello, Caroline,
I have a similar question. You all may know that ISBD punctuation is 
already scheduled to be phased out: 
https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/isbdmarc2016.pdf

I'm trying to dispense with it in my cataloging and have Koha show it in 
its interface instead. So far I've been successful with the ISBD View. 
However, the Normal View is trickier. I have no XSLT coding skills 
whatsoever.

Does anybody have any idea on how to edit the XSLT default templates to 
have them add ISBD punctuation, for example between the subfields of 
fields 245 and 300?

Sorry for hijacking your thread!
