Thx for asking.

For me frameworkcode or metadata format are quite different from the persistent
identifier. The frameworkcode is bound to the MARC view/representation. Which
may not stay the only view. The reason we made metadata format. That field is
repeatable and belongs to the corresponding view.
The PID on the other hand is a unique identifier that does not belong to a
particular view but imo c/should be shown in each view. MARC21 and UNIMARC also
added fields for such identifiers (auth 024, unimarc 003, etc.)
Although we could save the field outside MARC and just copy it in at export
time or display time, I dont mind adding it in MARC as a technical
optimization. See comment18.
Strict formally, the PID has been generated outside Koha and can be
dereferenced outside Koha.
