In UNIMARC, links to IFLA are broken and referring to a very old version of
MARC format.

 502     function _UNIMARCFieldDoc(field) {
 503         /* http://archive.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/ is an outdated version of
UNIMARC, but
 504            seems to be the only version available that can be linked to
per tag.  More recent
 505            versions of the UNIMARC standard are available on the IFLA
website only as
 506            PDFs!
 507         */
 508         var url;
 509         if (field == 0) {
 510             url = "http://archive.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/uni.htm";;
 511         } else {
 512             var first = field.substring(0,1);
 513             url = "http://archive.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/uni"; + first +
".htm#";
 514             if (first == 0) url = url + "b";
 515             url = first == 9
 516                   ? "http://archive.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/uni9.htm";
 517                   : url + field;
 518         }
 519         window.open(url);
 520     }

To my knowledge, there is no good solution to this pb :
- According to the code and to my investigation, IFLA is not providing split
files, field by field (except fields which have been updated after 2008, which
can be accessed through the atomic updates)
- transition-bibliographique.fr is providing such a work but only in french
