Two additions to the design bullet. The Verhoeff and Damm algorithms give a single decimal check digit that detects all single-digit substitutions and all adjacent transpositions, including the 09/90 case Luhn misses, at the cost of a table-driven computation; ISO/IEC 7064 itself covers more than MOD 97-10, for example MOD 11-2 with the check character `X`, which ISNI and ORCID use, so the article's 'modulus with a prime such as 97' is one member of that family. Crockford's base32 defines an optional check symbol (modulo 37, using five extra symbols) for identifiers that must be spoken or typed, which is the natural choice when the identifier is not numeric. ISBN-13 is an EAN, so the 1-3 weighting is the one found on every GTIN barcode, and `python-stdnum` implements all of these with tests if a project does not want to hand-roll them.
