--- Comment #15 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
tl;dr

The top priority should be making sure that no unwanted data loss occurs.

One solution might be to make sure that incoming fields/subfields are saved,
even if they don't appear in a framework.

(I suppose this solution has flaws in terms of determining labels and
repeatability... I suppose you could say "unknown field/subfield" and default
to being repeatable in the editor.)

(For cataloguers who count on the workflow of fields/subfields not being saved
if they're not in the framework, we could have a "strict" flag at the framework
level which could control whether or not "unknown subfields/fields" are saved.)

This solution would actually negate some of the need to update frameworks.
Updates to labels and whether it's "repeatable" would be the only thing needed
really, as the frameworks would be acting more as templates than as strict
frameworks. 

Thoughts?
