I'm beginning to feel a little like Mr. Bill...

I don't think you're missing anything.  I think you've identified the way 
to fix the fields manually.  My presumption was that eventually we'd send 
our database someplace and get back a nice clean authority database to work 
with nice legal tags.

Ask Geac how they do this in the first place and pray we don't need to 
write another spec for them.  It's possible that having the appropriate 
values in the table we send to them for the final GMA is all we need to do.

As Mr. Bill sez....

Oh, nooooooooo......
