Tuesday is fine and a list of issues would help.

Issues that I know of are the different xmlns used for dc and SRW. With
a simple keyword search our 1.1 SRU client gets good responses from all
servers, except Pica.

What do the rest of you think? Should we wait? How long would it take
to
finish this testing? By Tuesday?

Hi, Ray.  I would be very, very worried if we released now that we'd
run into exactly the same thing as with 1.0, that none of the supposed
reference implementations interoperate due to unreocgnised
contradictory interpretations of the specification.  Our experience
seems to be that _every single_ attempt to connect one implementation
to another uncovers at least one of these.  I will be much happier to
release when each of Rob's, Adam's, Matthew's and Ralph's clients has
successfully performed SRW-1.1 searching and retrieval in each of the
others's servers.  We ought to be able to get that done in, what,
another week?  Surely worthwhile.
