Do you think we could also put standard formatting of these types of numbers
in there, and make a naming scheme?

Example:

ISBNInternalForm('0-7434-3602-4') eq '0743436024'
ISBNDisplayForm('0743436024') eq '0-7434-3602-4'

Also LCCNInternalForm and LCCNDisplayForm, etc.

The naming scheme is a slightly awkward one, so feel free to modify. It
would be nice to have this functionality for other things too, such as
C4::Amazon.
