I end with a question : is there in a MARC record a way to know wether 
it's unimarc, marc21, or another marc flavor.
I've found nothing in the marc leader, and don't think there is one 
(which is definetly bad thing if i'm right)


As far as I know there is no way. Is there a good online reference for
UNIMARC similar to MARC21 [1]? If there is I'd be willing to look into it a
bit further. 

[1] http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc

I use a paper UNIMARC reference book.
I've deeply searched, and it really seems to be nothing to find which MARC flavour it is.
Let's hope Biblio-XML will arrive soon :-)
