1. Lost: this status displays correctly but doesn't display the authorized
value description. My guess is that this is by design: What use is it to the
patron to know in what sense an item is lost? On the other hand, that's what
the "hidelostitems" system preference is for--if patrons don't need to know
information about lost stuff, just hide it. So maybe there is a good argument
to display the authorized value if a library has chosen to leave
"hidelostitems" off.

2. Damaged: Same as Lost, status displays correctly but doesn't display the
authorized value description. I could see this argued either way. I think the
key is asking what use the information might be to a patron, for instance
whether knowing more details tells the patron whether it is worth placing a
hold on the item.

3. Not for loan: status displays and shows authorized value correctly.

4. Use Restrictions: Doesn't display at all. This makes sense, as setting a
value in "use restrictions" doesn't actually do anything. There is no logic
built into Koha to change handling of an item with such a value present.

What should it do?
