This is actually what I imagined would be the primary use case for ONIX
in libraries--Even if there's a lot more to add in order to arrive at a
"full" record (however we're to define that), deriving MARC record
"stubs" from ONIX should significantly lessen the burden of
transcription from the item-in-hand by catalogers.
