Just to be clear.  Are you suggesting that when a server returns a
Bib-1 diagnostic 111 (Too many databases specified), instead of giving
the string "2" in addInfo, it should give:

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>
	<InternationalString>
	2
	</InternationalString>

?

(Yes, this is meant to be a _reductio ad absurdum_ :-)
