And we have a well-known database and search for this: EXPLAIN searched
for "databaseInfo" -- and I believe Denis long ago (at TRW) proposed having
databases listed that were not at the server.
Yes these records come back in BER/ASN.1 -- but making a server accept
a request for the records in recordSyntax=xml (heh, or GRS) is certainly
a reasonable concept.
