I haven't found any system that displays the 340 yet, but the National Library
of New Zealand are going to start using it in their records from August 1st, so
I'm planning to check back on their system in the time to come.

The sample I'm working with right now has the following:

300 $a73 pages ; $c29cm
340 $g colour $p illustrations

This is a simple example, although even it presents a problem. In the XSLT,
would we say something like the following?

Description: 73 pages ; 29cm
Additional description: colour illustrations

On the Library of Congress webpage for MARC 340, you can see examples like
this:

340     ##$3self-portrait$arice paper$b7" x 9"$ccolored inks$enone$hbetween
entry for April 7 and April 19, 1843.

Taken like the 300, we would render that like this:

Additional description: self-portrait rice paper 7" x 9" colored inks none
between entry for April 7 and April 19, 1843.

That "none" looks really weird there.

Also, consider this one:

340     ##$dhandwritten$dtyped.

Additional description: handwritten typed

That just sounds like nonsense.
