I have a situation where it would be useful to have the OCLC number preserved when a MARC record is converted to MODS, it would make some kinds of linking out from displays a bit more robust. It seems that the OCLC number could go into a <identifier type='oclc'>.
Does anyone see a glaring problem with that idea? Is there a better place that I'm overlooking?
Would there be any interest in a patch to MARC21slim2MODS3-4.xsl for this operation?
