hi peter,
I would like to hear what people think of my observations about the
design of contrib/isn. In particular, I'd like Jan Otto to contribute
- he probably has more domain knowledge than I do. I haven't heard
from Jan about the proposed regression test.
In producing this patch, did you work off the listing of all the
628,000 assigned publisher codes that is only available in book form
at a cost of €558? How might I verify the correctness of the new
ISBN_range, preferably without spending €558? :-)
no, i used only the official information from international isbn agency to produce this patch.
we have much more information (payed) about publishers and its prefixes internally, but for
hyphenation we dont need more information as provided in the above xml-file.
additionally i put in support for the 979-prefix, because new ranges get applied to this new
prefix. as far as i know old ranges will never change.
regards, jan
