Comment (by simko):

 More info for clarification. While MARC standard seems to suggest 001
 is mandatory, the MARCXML schema seems to allow not having one.  Which
 is suitable for records not living as records, but as MARCXML
 snippets.  So we have either to be prepared for those, or we should
 require passing fake record ID like 0.

 In any case, EndNote and some other output formats currently ignore
 MARCXML snippet that is being passed via `xml_record` argument to
 `format_record()`, but seem to rely solely on getting the information
 via recID, which cannot work for snippet-only records such as external
 basket items.  Example:

 {{{
 In [20]: z = "foo bar blah"

 In [21]: format_record(1, 'xe', xml_record=z, on_the_fly=True)
