I discovered the following problems during testing - please work on
this and resubmit:

[1] The patch had no discernible effect on editing bib records.  When
I marked a field as required (but none of its subfields), the editor
would still let me save a bib record even if I hadn't entered any data
into any of the tag's subfields.

[2] When editing authority records, the patch *did* catch when a
mandatory field had no content in any of its subfields.  However, it
goes too far - for mandatory variable control fields (tags < 010) that
do not have subfields, it prevents you from saving a record because it
can't find any subfields for them, even though those fields by
definition don't have subfields.

Regards,

Galen
