--- Comment #2 from mathieu saby <mathieu.saby at univ-rennes2.fr> ---
Hello
In France we don't add any ponctuation in 7XX$a, so I was surprised.
But, you are right, except it is only a recommandation, and not a part of the
format itself.

The UNIMARC manual (2008) says :
"There are no standards for punctuation in this field. However, it is
recommended that punctuation be retained where it is available in the source
format. In source formats where punctuation is not available, but is printed
out by an algorithm generated from the definition of the subfields, it is
recommended that the punctuation which would be used in display be included in
the UNIMARC record.
Because there are no standards for punctuation in this field, recipients of
records in the UNIMARC format will have to be aware of the practices adopted by
the agency preparing the record; therefore agencies distributing records should
attempt to be consistent in their own records."

But in French version of the manual,
http://www.bnf.fr/documents/B700-6-2010.pdf
we read :
"NdT : les exemples provenant de catalogues anglo-saxons contiennent la
ponctuation prescrite, qui a été saisie et non pas générée par programme comme
le veut l’usage français."

(Translator note : examples from anglo-saxon catalogs contains punctuation,
included in the record, and not generated by an algorithm as wants french use)

So maybe it should be a syspref ?
