Somewhat similar to that I also think it's sensible to normalize
according to how similar catalog numbers are written. That is instead
of a series of releases

  XLP-101
  XLP-102
  xlp-103
  XLP 104
  XLP-105

normalize to "XLP-103" (and "XLP-104"). I know that I several time
have chosen the catalog number that most conforms to other catalog
numbers like that, when there are several versions of the catalog
number printed, at least.
