Whatever data you have, there is some way to encode it in MARC. If you didn't capture everything in the original MARC with full granularity, then, sure, of course your resulting "back to" MARC is not going to have all the information the original MARC had. But it will have all the information in your actual OL record. That's all I'm suggesting would be useful.
