More to the point, ZeeRex _does_ include the abstract index names!
See
        http://explain.z3950.org/dtd/refguide.html#6.1.6.3

Also useful is the sample record at
        http://explain.z3950.org/samples/f-1.5.xml
which contains the following snippet (edited for brevity):

        <indexInfo>
          <index search="true" scan="true" sort="true">
            <title primary="true" lang="en">Artist Name (Exact)</title>
            <map>
              <name>xartist</name>
            </map>
          </index>
        </indexInfo>

Which I think gives you what you need for SRW?
