How about for frameworks other than default, you can't link to 
any items fields. And for any functions that check for mappings to
items tables, they only pull from default framework.

The alternative is what we have now in rel_2_2, where you can have
one framework for BOOKS, with items.barcode linked to 952$p, then
you can go and create another framework for PERI, with items.barcode
linked to 952$b. And I'm pretty sure we haven't coded carefully
enough in rel_2_2 for those to both work all the time ... and in 
Zebra, it won't work at all because you'd have to define a new
entry in record.abs for each of those frameworks entries. Hope that
clarifies.
