An attribute in recordSchema could serve as a briefness indicator. There
should also be a way to request the short records. The distinction
between full and brief might be important when the full records are
coming from a database that is separated from the index containing the
brief records.

Ick.

So I have multiple schemas available.  One is MarcXML and the other is
BriefMarcXML.  Can't we agree on some mechanism to indicate that the
one
is a variant on the other with fewer elements?  I think a place to put
the URI of the full schema and a simple briefness indicator would be
sufficient.
