We are in the process of implementing these services as well, to support 
general database updates in our search engine. I would definitely recommend 
that anyone considering a remote update function consider this approach - 
you can always build yourself a HTTP-based front-end for it later on, but 
in terms of Z39.50, this gives you maximum re-usability of your component 
systems (servers, clients, etc.).
