Does it really work that way for biblos MARC frameworks?? If so, that would be
a _major_ disaster IMO.

I was under the impression that if the certain subfields are set up as "hidden
in editor", they still get saved (not getting destroyed on re-save). Also, at
least in the manner of speaking, they do appear in editor ;), their contents
are just not visible and not editable (AFAIRC authority editor uses "display:
none" for that purpose, I'm not sure about biblio editor).

There are some scenarios when we e.g. may want some fields/subfields to be:
preserved in the MARC record (control numbers, some linking data for records
imported from union catalogues etc.), visible in staff client, but not directly
editable by the librarians.

Possibility to define (perhaps even greatly) simplified frameworks, intended
for some specific editing tasks (= with a lot of existing record
fields/subfields hidden on edit) might often come in handy as well.
