Subject: RecordPacking (Tony)
Tony - apparently you strongly disfavor the
recordPacking parameter.
"In order that records which are not well formed do not break the entire
message, it is possible to request that they be transferred as a single string
with the <, > and & characters escaped to their entity forms. Moreover
some toolkits may not be able to distinguish record XML from the XML which forms
the response. However, some clients may prefer that the records be transferred
as XML in order to manipulate them directly with a stylesheet which renders the
records and potentially also the user interface."
Which to me seems pretty sound justification for
the parameter.
Some of the people responsible for it are not
in the TC. (Rob, for example, and possible Mike.) If you really feel
strongly about this then I suggest that you post a message to the SRU list
inviting discussion on it. If it really isn't wanted by the SRU
implementors, we can take it out.
