Jannifer returned searchRetrieveResponses before. As fa as I know  Pica
is not using post.
Post is not part of the SRU standard? Is it?

Rob said something like:
  I think we do interoperate...

I lie ;) I can get search responses from Adam, and that's it. All
other
requests fail from my SRW client.

But I don't think that's a reason to hold up release.  If we had to
wait
for a reference Z39.50 implementation, we'd still be in Version 2 :)

One thing I will bring up:

If you have an SRU server that doesn't do SRW, is there expected
behaviour
for a POST to the URL?  Eg Jannifer just returns the SRU (1.0 version)
explain record.
