Can I just second Jonathan's point - if we are going to enable a  
variety of display methods rather than have one 'correct' way of  
displaying bibliographic data then the data needs to be recorded in a  
way that allows this.

Also I wonder if anyone who has done a recent NGC implementation has  
done any user testing of different displays, and if so, what the  
outcomes were?
