QA Comment:
First, looks very good, but still have a few questions:

1) Will a user know that marcstd means marc without private fields (9XX, X9X
and XX9)? I did not realize it rightaway too ;) BTW Does not block this patch!

2) While testing it, I saw that the fields 952 and 999 are still included. Note
that these are certainly no marc standard fields, so if any should be excluded,
they should. Since your regex tests /9/, I do however not understand why they
are still there. Do you? Note that a local field 942 and subfields 9 were
correctly removed in my testing. Could you test this too? 

3) I doubt if the encoding is 100% correct. When I opened the exported file in
notepad, some characters with umlaut did not come up completely correct. But
when copying them somewhere else, they were correct after all. When I commented
the call to SetUTFFlag, the results in notepad were correct.
Tested with title: Vorläufer, Schüler, Zeitgenossen.
Please note that GetMarcBiblio is already calling _new_from_xml with a utf8
parameter. 
Also note that this remark also pertains to existing format utf8 in export
scripts. (So formally, it could be a report on itself.) 
Maybe Katrin can test it (probably she has the most experience with umlauts ;)

4) Finally, elaborating on point 3: Not blocking this patch, but why would the
marc2marc function not just demand a marc object (instead of optionally
creating it). Note that the only call now already receives an object, created
by GetMarcBiblio. And why not leave the call to as_usmarc to the export script,
just as done in the case of format marc8, utf8 ?

Changing status just to reflect need for some testing and answers..
