Storing everything in zebra will let user see the document status from 
z3950 server directly. The no-go is probably why no z3950 server does 
this : it's too much time consuming.

another reason for holding in a separate DB is to have a complete MARC 
record for holdings. Holdings for UNIMARC exists, even if all the 
libraries I know uses "recommandation 995" that store holding in 995 field.
