Sorry, but I got confused. What I meant was that the bot doesn't act on isbn's 
in the same way as it does on doi's even though the doco says: "The bot also 
finds ISBNs, and expands book information if it is provided with an ISBN".  
Specifically, it does not expand, but rather just ignores the template.  So 
{{cite journal|doi=xxxx}} works, but {{cite book|isbn=xxxx}} does not.  Bot 
output follows:
