As written, the syntax for z39.50s does not seem to allow for other
parameters without the presence of docid:
z39.50s://host[:port]
[/database[+database...]
[?docid
[;esn=elementset]
[;rs=recordsyntax[+recordsyntax...]]]]
Furthermore, the draft implies that other parameters may appear without the
presence of database name(s).
It seems that what is intended is something like:
z39.50s://host[:port]
[/
[database[+database...][?docid]]
[;esn=elementset]
[;rs=recordsyntax[+recordsyntax...]]]
The language for z39.50r implies that the client will use the present
capability of the search service. However, a client could just as well
use a separate present request. I think the draft should be neutral
regarding how the protocol is used to retrieve records.
