RE: [search-ws-comment] SRU/CQL: clarification about fatal diagnostics

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

If you know the operation, then the diagnostic is wrapped in the response appropriate for that operation.  If you don't know the operation, then the response is an explainResponse.

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
