Hoist by my own petard! Put so astutely, I have to go back to my claim
that SRW/U is NOT about structure based searching and they should find
something else. The explain record that comes back with at least 38,000
indexes in it (the absolute minimum to search typical MARC records) will
be useless.
I know I'm inclined to bend over backwards to help friends, but I think
we should draw a line here and refuse to cooperate or sanction anyone
elses cooperation in this venture.
