Thanks, Ralph. Appreciated.

Yes. A couple of other things about the existing Bath profile came up
when I was figuring out the dark corners of the SRW/CQL version, as
you'll have seen -- e.g. why there are both Author and Creator
searches when they both use the same atrributes. It'll be interesting
to see what the Bath people have to say about this.

Er. I have to admit to not really following this (due, I'm sure to my
inadequate understanding of libraries rather than any deficiency in
your explanation). Does it basically mean that I can remove the note
about ISSN vs. ISBN support? (Basically, just tell me what to do and
I'll do it :-)

Thanks for that. Only one quibble: the link text is "Bath Profile in
CQL", whereas it should really be either "Bath Profile for SRW" (if
it's describing the whole document) or, more likely, "Bath Context
Set".

I'll be glad to -- I just wanted to get a bit of informed feedback
from this list before I go ploughing in feet first. Does anyone have
anything to say other than "It's nice?" :-) [Not that I don't enjoy
being told that it's nice!]

I notice that you tweaked the Bath URL accordingly! OK, that's fine
by me: I have changed the URI in the profile document itself to
reflect what the MA says it is.
