the problem with this though is that there will be some records where
this is added because people know to add it, but others where it is
not. Same is true if we apply from the backend - do we do so only when
not already defined? Do we overwrite if it is defined? What if it
comes from a parser outwith our control? If we put anything like this
on each record it could just lead to more pollution.
