--- Comment #5 from Ian Walls <koha.sekjal at gmail.com> ---
Some additional considerations:

1) The MARC field and subfield for age restriction needs to be configurable, so
it can accommodate MARC21, UNIMARC and NORMARC equally.  Note that Restrictions
on Access are recorded in 506 in MARC21. UNIMARC 333 (Notes Pertaining to
Users/Intended Audience) may be the best fit on that side.

2) A single delimiter for acceptable tags should be decided on.  I recommend |
to be consistent with other system preferences.  Space should not be used, as
someone will undoubtedly want to use a two-word tag (like "Age Restriction:").

3) The behaviour should be configurable as to whether it completely blocks circ
(issuingimpossible) or just prompts a confirmation box (needsconfirmation),
since not every library will want to have this be a hard and fast rule.

4) Once DOM biblio indexing is in place, doing a numeric index on age
restriction would make it searchable in the OPAC (and facetable, perhaps even
with an "age appropriate for me?" facet for logged in users).

5) Should age restrictions interact at all with Analytics (passing through from
serial record to monographic record)?
