    Validate and format an ISSN.  This code fixes the case where an editor has included an ISSN in the citation but
    has separated the two groups of four digits with a space.  When that condition occurred, the resulting link looked
    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.
