list-serv, I gather that the H* (I won't even try to attempt the =
spelling at this late hour) Trust didn't care about MARC and that =
consequently, the developpers might not have appreciated fully how =
MARC-reliant much of the library world is and that there is a whole =
complicated history behind that.

Anyway, I like your suggestion, Ed, about moving the item type to a 9xx =
field. The developpers could designate one of the tags for it and then =
that would become a Koha feature.
