That gives problems with backward compatibility. Also, it makes the easier to
connect to the ID WOS that's also used a lot. Also, it's just a name.

That was already done.

It should be disabled for default servers. Probably forgot an extra condition.

I think using this hidden pref is not a good idea. Hidden prefs are generally a
bad idea anyway, but this way especially. In fact, this one is so bad that none
of us really understand the sense of it. We should just try the best ourselves.
So I hink we should use the source_title, but we do already remove the full
caps (unless you have personally disabled that.) I am not so sure though about
the alternative field (Iso-Source-Abbreviation). Shouldn't that be abbrev_iso?
But I don't really know much myself of what's all going on there.
