Ok, but what if, e.g. operation and version are nicely supplied by the
client, so the server could already know/infer, that the client wanted
to perform a specific operation?
Or, what if the client did everything correctly when submitting the
response, but a fatal error occurred while the server performs the
search request, e.g. a (temporary) internal error in the search engine
and the server wants to return a "info:srw/diagnostic/1.1" or
"info:srw/diagnostic/1.2" diagnostic?

Thanks and best regards,
 Oliver
