Right, but if the functionality exists, we should not go out of our

This thread is about separating the logic into two places. "The
functionality" could exist in the save logic, or the rendering logic, or
conceivably both. I'm suggesting we move it strictly to the save logic.
Typing ISBN xxx looks and feels like shorthand, rather than some genuine
syntactic rule. Making it a save-time feature akin to autocorrect would be
appropriate.
