While you're talking about minor changes to MODS, I have one other
change I'd like to request.  It's really just and extension to the
current set of physicalDescription/form elements. You've combined
'Regular Print Reproduction' and 'Large Print' (
http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/form.shtm ) into just
'print'.  While I'm not a cataloger and thus can't intuit the reasons
behind the merge, I can tell you that, at least in our public
libraries, it would be a huge boon to us to be able to tell large
print records for regular reproductions without having to go back to
the MARC to check.

I realize that we could do this with a local change to the stylesheet,
but I imagine that it would benefit others, so I thought I'd bring it
up.

Thanks for all your work on MODS!
