The ISBN may have been incorrectly labelled invalid, but we have (to our surprise) found several examples where the publisher has put an invalid number on the book (see talk page for examples). Note that just because a number has not been identified as invalid, it doesn't mean it corresponds to the book in question, or indeed any book.
This template accepts three parameters; one unnamed and two named: |1= (unnamed parameter) – (required) the ISBN to be formatted |separator= – (optional) accepts one predefined keyword: space; when |separator=space, the rendered ISBN elements are separated using a space character; for any other value, this template renders with hyphen separators
Entries with invalid ISBNs that are nonetheless printed in a book can be tagged with {{Listed Invalid ISBN}}. Also, if particular ISBNs in a list of ISBNs are known to be invalid, this can be indicated by providing corresponding invalid1=yes to invalid9=yes parameters in the {{ ISBN }} or {{ ISBNT }} templates.
OTOH, contributors with an ISBN from the book in their hand may feel obligated to add the ISBN to the article. Perhaps we could create a template {{Invalid ISBN|2-204-19850-9}} that results in <!-- Invalid ISBN: 2-204-19850-9 -->. Would that cause google searchs for the invalid ISBN to bring up the article?
Some ISBNs may still have been printed correctly elsewhere in the same book or corrected in later editions; if further research shows that to be the case (and that the new ISBN still refers to an edition with the same information on the same pages), then the invalid# parameter should be moved or {{Listed Invalid ISBN}} should be replaced with {}.

If you only have a 10-digit ISBN, do use the number as-is, do not try to convert it to the 13-digit form. If the ISBN as printed in your source is refusing to validate, do check both the front matter and the book cover for ISBNs. It is not uncommon for the ISBN to be misprinted in the front matter but correct on the cover. Do preview your edit ...
