Additional nominations -- issues MARCValidator did not detect in the recent ECCO2 record set:

Illegal character in 008, which may only contain |, \, 0-9, a-z
        =008  010927d17091709enkir\p\s\|||#0\\\a0eng\c

Spaces and ISBD punctuation in weird places
        =300  \\  $a
        =300  \\ ;$c12{esc}p0{esc}s.
        =300  \\  90 p. ;$c8{esc}p0{esc}s.
        =700  1\ b$aDistaff, Jenny,$eattributed name.

Unsupported diacritics or diacritic boundary markers

=500  \\$aA phonetic rendering of 'Constitution of Spensonea, a country in Fairyland'.

For our continuing problems with series treatment in record sets from Springer, Alexander Street Press and others
        =440            Can you make a user-selectable switch for whether to validate or disallow this obsolete field?
        =490  1\        Can you send an error if there is no 830 at all (or even cooler:  no 830$a containing a fuzzy match, disregarding
capitalization, initial articles in multiple languages, and parenthetical qualifiers) in the record?
        =830  \[^0]     While not officially a MARC21 error, can you set off a warning that initial articles are not customarily used in 830s?

And can you get the validator to lighten up a tad and accept
=020    ISBN qualifiers after the presence of 10 or 13 digits and at least one blank space?
                Current message:  020-Invalid data found in field: 9780203492734 (e-book : PDF).  Only [^0-9x] is valid within this field.

        =020    Capital X as an ISBN-10 checkdigit?
Current message:  020-Invalid data found in field: 020349273X.  Only [^0-9x] is valid within this field.

Thanks!
