Yes, instantly understood. Instantly. Nobody would be the slightest
confused by that.
Do you realize how ridiculous your argument sounds? All these labels
are just /tokens/. They /could/ be anything, sure, but something with
semantic meaning is /immediately/ going to be more accessible than
numbers, more numbers, letters and symbols.
What about the fixed fields?
It seems that we keep 'reinventing MARC', as you say, because it's the
same people who are working on it.
