Of course, since 440 was made obsolete in 2008 [1], a first step might be to convert all 440s to 490/830 pairs [2]. Then the indexing would need to cover 800$t$n$p, 810$t$n$p, 811$t$n$p, 830$a$n$p, and possibly 490$a, depending on whether you want to index uncontrolled series titles.

[2] Example Perl script for converting extracted files of raw MARC 21 records, though it doesn't currently deal with $x in the best manner: < http://home.comcast.net/~eijabb/fullrecscripts/Cleanup_full_recs/440to490-830.txt>
