To clarify: you just want to change the ZeeRex for explaining
extensions, right?  You're not out to alter what goes on the wire when
_using_ an SRW/U extension?

I would expect that clients can use this info  to request for
x-serverinfo more or less automatically. In that respect it may alter
what goed on trhe wire. Am I wrong? Maybe it is also the right place for
a server to indicate whether this information is also part of the
information sent automatically when x-info-accept=any  has been added in
the request.
