That, in my opinion, makes it worth both using and cleaning the data.To be clear, I agree with everything you're saying 100%.

I have two questions, though:
1) Given that false negatives mean that relevant 856es wouldn't
appear, how would find the offenders? Some out of band process (like
MARCEdit)?
2) Given #1, is this a realistic expectation of any library
considering implementing VuFind?
These questions aren't meant to be discouraging or dismissive -- I'm
trying to gauge the feasibility.
I've long touted that until these sorts of discrepancies are addressed
(as well as abandoning the 'record model' and 'a single template for
all resources' design), the 'next generation catalog' is really just
sort of polishing the turd. I realize that progress is incremental
and that gaining control of our interfaces is the first step.
However, Mark, I think you're pointing out that technology alone is
not going to fix all of our problems.
I really appreciate you bringing this up.

While SolrMarc usually ignores the indicators found in the Marc records,
they can be used in custom indexing functions. There is a standard
custom function named getSortableTitle(Record record) which uses the
title field indicators to remove non-sorting characters from the front
of the title string so that the titles will sort correctly.
It should not be very difficult to create a custom indexing function to
handle indicators for 856 fields correctly. The getSortableTitle method
can be used a an example of how to look at the indicator values. (You
basically need to use marc4j classes and methods directly.)
