Right, of course we can (and should) strip [electronic resource] out of the title before populating our MODS <title> tag, but perhaps instead I should have pointed out that it is also prominent in examples of the <title> tag on the MODS web site: <titleInfo> <title>Bush Cheney [electronic resource]</title> </titleInfo> I guess that's my _real_ gripe -- that if we are specifying a standard we should do it more cleanly than that, rather than grandfathering in kluges from the past.
