Sun undoubtedly has an ISBN publisher's prefix. Why not just prefix it to your
FPIs and use the standard the way it is supposed to be used?
Your present approach is reminiscent of a B western where the powerful rancher
takes over a part of the unfenced common pasturage and threatens anyone who
"trespasses" on it. Beware ... Roy Rogers is still alive and well (and living in
Victorville, California).
