[OPEN-ILS-DEV] MARC Record Import from txt

[Yamil Suarez]

Dan (or others),

I have a documentation related question for you based on your response  
to the original email question. Currently the 1.6 and 2.0 official  
documentation make reference to the problem of "namespace prefixes."  
Should that be removed from the 1.6 and 2.x version, or just the 2.x?

Here are direct links to the pertinent sections...

http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/migratingdata.html#migratingbibrecords

Thanks in advance,
Yamil
