Could we indicate indicate this in <SRW:recordSchema> as an attribute
that specifies which variant is provided? That means that if the
attribute says "brief", this indicates that there is a "full"  variant
and the other way around. I do not believe we need more complexity.
In my case I expect DC for only for brief records and all kind of other
schemas (EAD, LOM, DC, MARCXML or none) for full records.
