If the RefDB data model stands still, or you only ever support risx 
import/export, then you're right.  I don't expect that, however.

Ultimately I need to format the stuff, so the notion of keeping 
original files in MODS for the short-to-mid-term, and converting to RIS 
or RISX, might be a good approach for me.  I'm dealing with some funky 
data for my project right now, and I want to make sure it gets coded 
right.  Chris Putnam's tools will soon be able to reliably convert from 
MODS --> RIS, which facilitate this.
