Hmm not really :-)

So only things who use the default framework can have items?

Im more wondering how it would work from the users point of view. IE, is 
it useful to have frameworks that cant have items?
Taking your example above with a framework for BOOKS and one for PERI. 
How would this work with only default framework having items ... is it 
like I was saying, you use the BOOKS framework for the bibliographic 
data, then when you go to enter item information it changes to the 
default framework?
