           Summary: XSLT should look in LDR/18 to know whether to add
                    punctuation or not

I noticed the XSLT sometimes adds or removes punctuation. If the cataloguers
already add the punctuation while cataloguing, this causes double punctuation
or no punctuation at all where there should be.

For instance, I have a record where there is a period (.) at the end of 100$e.
So in MARC, it looks like

100 1#
a Goscinny, René,
d 1926-1977-,
e author.

In intranet details, it looks like

Goscinny, René, 1926-1977- [author.].

There are two periods (and no comma after the date).

In the 260 field, the opposite happens. There is a period at the end of 260$c
in MARC, but nothing is appearing in intranet results.

260 ##
a Paris :
b Gallimard jeunesse,
c [2014].

In the intranet details, it looks like

Paris : Gallimard jeunesse, [2014]

There is no period after the date. 

MARC21 has a code in LDR/18 to indicate whether or not punctuation has been
included in the cataloguing. XSLT should obey this code to determine if it
should add punctuation or not.

LDR/18 possible codes
# - Non-ISBD
a - AACR2
c - ISBD punctuation omitted
i - ISBD punctuation included
n - Non-ISBD punctuation omitted
u - Unknown
