--- Comment #4 from Janusz Kaczmarek <januszop at gmail.com> ---
Thank you for explaining the context.  Verifying the formal correctness of the
MARC 21/UNIMARC records is quite a complex issue and--as far as I know--it is
beyond of what Koha can do at the time (although it would be great if we could
have some validation rules).  For now we are able to establish and control,
quite precisely, the coherence between the authority data and bibliographic
records. 

The library should be aware that with the standard
AuthorityControlledIndicators values, even if a librarian places by hand a
correct value of a controlled indicator in the biblio records, every
modification of the linked authority record without the correct indicator will
reset the indicator in the biblio records fields.  So, the library should
either correct the authority records (which will also correct the indicators in
the linked biblio records fields, which is great) or clear appropriate lines in
the AuthorityControlledIndicators system preference in order to prevent this
(very useful, and correct, and wanted) behavior of the controlled indicators
"mini engine".
