 Formats a DOI and checks for DOI errors.
 
 DOI names contain two parts: prefix and suffix separated by a forward slash.
 	Prefix: directory indicator '10.' followed by a registrant code
 	Suffix: character string of any length chosen by the registrant
 
 This function checks a DOI name for: prefix/suffix.  If the DOI name contains spaces or endashes, or, if it ends
 with a period or a comma, this function will emit a bad_doi error message.
 
 DOI names are case-insensitive and can incorporate any printable Unicode characters so the test for spaces, endash,
 and terminal punctuation may not be technically correct but it appears, that in practice these characters are rarely
 if ever used in DOI names.

 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:
 
 	|issn=0819 4327 gives: [http://www.worldcat.org/issn/0819 4327 0819 4327]	-- can't have spaces in an external link
 	
 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.

 Format a PMC, do simple error checking, and check for embargoed articles.
 
 The embargo parameter takes a date for a value. If the embargo date is in the future the PMC identifier will not
 be linked to the article.  If the embargo date is today or in the past, or if it is empty or omitted, then the
 PMC identifier is linked to the article through the link at cfg.id_handlers['PMC'].prefix.
 
 PMC embargo date testing is done in function is_embargoed () which is called earlier because when the citation
 has |pmc=&lt;value&gt; but does not have a |url= then |title= is linked with the PMC link.  Function is_embargoed ()
 returns the embargo date if the PMC article is still embargoed, otherwise it returns an empty string.
 
 PMCs are sequential numbers beginning at 1 and counting up.  This code checks the PMC to see that it contains only digits and is less
 than test_limit; the value in local variable test_limit will need to be updated periodically as more PMCs are issued.
