If I understand well, you say that because of my paragraph about how to 
manually add a biblio with the web interface ?
If that's it, I'm OK. But I hope my DB-structure doesn't depend on the

My two main priorities were : having a generic MARC structure to be able 
to accept any MARC format, and having a structure that enables fast 
searches on medium-big libraries.
