+ * Supported
+ You can insert/delete/replace an XML record given an
+ "external" ID. Actually this way of doing ES Update was
+ meant for an OAI application that Ian Ibbotson had in
+ mind to implement. The "update" command in YAZ client
+ implements this on the client side. My plan is to make
+ this available in ZOOM "extended" soon..
