+1 for this idea.
It would be our first step to a full support of FRBR : biblio(items)
containing only "basic" information, that are absolutely required
everywhere and that should not require any meta-data decoding while the
biblio_metadata would contain the raw record.
The metadata_type telling how it must be accessed.
