A specific problem with the detailed record page is the new subject
display isn't displaying correctly in Internet Explorer 7; I wrestled
with this for about an hour with no joy.

There seems to be a problem editing MARC records that have
URIs-as-copies (856 $9 SHORTNAME); attempting to reingest the record
generates an SQL error due to a duplicate entry in the database, so
the changes aren't saved; but the staff client claims "Record
successfully saved". Two things need fixing here: the record needs to
be able to be saved correctly, and a failed save operation needs to be
reported accurately.
