RE: [search-ws-comment] searchRetrieve Accept Parameters

["LeVan,Ralph" <levan@oclc.org>]

The need comes from the OpenSearch community.  They communicate with
servers using URL templates and have no way of specifying the format of
the response, other than through parameters in the URL.  So, they, and
hence we, must embed content negotiation in our URLs.
