Any way we can make perl-Business-ISBN / barcode optional for URI. I kind of
get why you'd want ISBN as an option in Barcode, even if it is quite a corner
case for barcodes, but barcodes for URIs again is quite a corner case (IMO at
least) for the average use case for URIs in Fedora. I presume the usecase is
for reading of URLs embedded in 2D barcodes?
