I'm trying to wrap my head around how we'd do this in practice. In theory, Koha
should be resetting the 001 and 003, but it doesn't do that currently. 

I guess you'd be relying on that? Trying to match off the original 001 and 003
to improve the ease of matching records from external sources. I can see the
logic there for sure.

Personally, I wish that we'd move the 001 and 003 to the 035 during import,
although that would present its own matching problems, plus the 035 is a
repeatable field.
