Eliot,

This looks excellent.  Congratulations.  My only suggestion is that
you might like to include something about how easy it is to implement
SRU.  On the client side, there are some neat examples at
        http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/srw/sru-simple.html
and there is a tiny but complete server implementation at
        http://sru.miketaylor.org.uk/

Hope this helps,
