Subject: Re: [search-ws] recordPacking - A Proposal
Hi Ralph: I think I mentioned this before on the list. We include packed and unpacked variants for the reference implementations. And reference implementations would like very similar to the original SRU/XML. We followed Ray's draft for ATOM in providing our versions. Other registered schemas could provide their own unpacked version, if they so chose. And if they wanted to provide more than one unpacker variant then they could do so by registering new "schemas" till the cows come home. This has got to be kept simple or NOBODY, BUT NOBODY is going to bother with it. My implementations speak for themselves.
