This is my favourite.
(Eg, what do with titleAs and titleDe... do they mean Title Descending or
Title in German?)

In Z39.50 we can do this really nice combining of multiple resultsets with
Sort.  As resultsetId parameter is a single string, I take it that we're
just ignoring this in SRW?

(Which is fine, but if it's easy to add in, would be useful IMO)
