MESSENGER requires detached labels and many additional keywords that are not provided in beyond the current capabilities in isis2pds.

A redesign is required in order to make PDS generation more complete and functional in order to make generation of PDS archival products more flexible and adaptable. This could include a template or some other generic system of keywords/values translation from ISIS product to PDS product.

Our current capabilities are really very basic.

Things to look at/extend:
PvlFormat - Formats keywords according to mission requirements: Real, Int, Hex, String, Quotes, ...
Pvl.PvlsetFormatTemplate - Sorts and comments a Pvl on output

PDS archival is a fundamental process of most all projects.
The improvements to this process in ISIS will greatly simplify and extend functionality of this activity for many current and future projects.

This effort needs to be directed at support for PDS4 format rather than revisit PDS3.
