I would be surprised, and overjoyed, if it included the NAF too. That
would be great, but I'm not expecting it, because LC still counts on
bringing in revenue by selling that information.
Which is a shame. There is SO much that could be done with open access
linked data access to structured NAF/IAF information. It is so
appropriate for this data.
