I would do the same with the \isbn command, define it in the module as
\def\simplebib_isbn#1{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}
and copy it to the \isbn later
\def\bibitem[#1]%
{\begingroup
\let\isbn\simplebib_isbn
…
\endgroup}

I would use \getdummyparameters instead because you don’t have to preset the
keys and you can use \dummyparameter to access the values.
\def\decodebibitem[#1]%
{\begingroup
\getdummyparameters[#1]%
\doifsomething{\dummyparameter{author}}{\dummyparameter{author}\doifsomething{\dummyparameter{year}}{
}}%
...
\endgroup}
