When viewing an authority using detail.pl, the "New from Z39.50" Button does
not generate a new record, but replaces the currently viewed record.

This is different behavior than in previous versions.

It seems it should generate a new authority record (similar to what is found on
the biblio cataloging page), given the text "New", just as it formerly did.

If the new behavior is meant, it should be relabeled "Replace using Z39.50" or
something similar to avoid destroying authority records and possibly causing
database-wide changes by unintentionally replacing a record, and populating
that record onto many biblios.

Personally, I would favor the former behavior -- generate a new authority
record from a Z39.50 search, and leave the button on the editing section in
authorities.pl as the method for replacing via a Z39.50 search.
