SRU is a messaging protocol just like SOAP and HTTP. When SRU and SOAP
are tunneled through HTTP you are sending back the SRU "message" as the
HTTP entity representation which contains a result set from the search.
You can register protocol messages with IANA, e.g., application/soap+xml
and message/http.
