This is why I mentioned clients using ISBN in production. I have yet to
see any actual breakage in the field. Granted, both clients are
US-only. I don't believe either of these clients is depending on the
prefix-check, and that's the sort of thing we could announce in the
release notes.
I do get the feeling that Peter got burned by ISN, given his vehemence
in erasing it from the face of the earth. So that's one bug report. ;-)
