    But, this: 2015arXiv151206696F is apparently valid so apparently, the only things that really matter are length, 19 characters

    	length must be 19 characters
    	characters in position
    		1–4 must be digits and must represent a year in the range of 1000 – next year
    		5 must be a letter

    Validate and format an issn.  This code fixes the case where an editor has included an ISSN in the citation but

    like this:

    This code now prevents that by inserting a hyphen at the issn midpoint.  It also validates the issn for length
    and makes sure that the checkdigit agrees with the calculated value.  Incorrect length (8 digits), characters
    other than 0-9 and X, or checkdigit / calculated value mismatch will all cause a check issn error message.  The
    issn is always displayed with a hyphen, even if the issn was given as a single group of 8 digits.
