8. it is not possible to put authors names in anything but the "default"
font.  i have many names in turkish (a roman script) which now display with
the dreaded "boxes" and other bizarre characters instead of, say, undotted
"i" and "H" with a dot below.

9. it should be possible for the main display (author, date, title) to be
modified.  i keep the LC call number of each book and i would like to
display it on the directory page. often, i don't care about the date.

10. there should be a provision for sorting by LC call number. a simple
alpha sort will not work.

11a. there need to be more fields availible in reference types and there
need to be more kinds of reference types.  there is simply no room for
copyright date, reprint information, uniform title, serial holdings, etc. 

11b. it should be possible to designate that a particular "generic" field
(e.g. custom 1) should be treated as an author, title, date, or any other
special class of field.

12. there is no provision for references which lack an author, e.g. Bible
[ok, no *stated* author], serials. they should be interfiled with the
authors.
