Psst. SRU/SRW are not necessarily designed to return holdings.
Instead, they are protocols designed to interface with indexes. Send
a query. Return a list of hits. Using SRU/SRW to return holdings
would be a novel use of the protocol; using SRU/SRW for this purpose
would be akin to using something like OpenSearch for this purpose.
