It is much more complex than I thought...

To answer Bernardo's question, I would say that the official source for UNIMARC
authority is : 
for authorities : http://www.ifla.org/node/7950/ (3rd ed, update 2012)
for biblios : http://www.ifla.org/node/7974  (3rd ed, update 2012)

But the translated manuals we have in France does not seem to be up to date.
We have on BNF (French national library)
for authorities : http://www.bnf.fr/documents/UnimarcA.pdf (translation made in
 2004, based on the 2d english edition of 2001, with some mistakes of english
verion corrected)
for biblios :
http://www.bnf.fr/fr/professionnels/anx_formats/a.unimarc_manuel_format_bibliographique.html
(based on the 3rd english edition, in its 2008 version)

And Sudoc academic network makes its own documents!
http://www.abes.fr/Sudoc/Produire-dans-le-Sudoc2/Formats-d-echange/%28profilId%29/168/%28rubId%29/1875

This can explain discrepancies!

What I am certain of : french universities need to follow ABES format.
For french public libraries, I don't know. Maybe the BNF document
For non french Unimarc libraries, maybe the english document.

Sonia, could you tell us what is the source you used for your patch?
I think it is this pdf from ABES website, but I am not sure...

Are you sure it applies to french public libraries too?
