For some reason, emails from liblime.com aren't reaching me promptly today, so I'll reply to both of the above at once:- I suspect C4::Normalize would have poor cohesion (probably logical cohesion) so would prefer creating C4::ISBN and similar, with methods like new($), raw(), normal(), display() and so on. Would the display() methods be best if they use a syspref? Anyway, if this isn't already in there, maybe we should hesitate on adding this new feature. Seems pretty damn compelling to me, though.
