+Observerations on the Helsinki Voyager Server.  
+
+1. Observerations:
+
+1.1 A client must issue different OID than effective syntax OID.
+To get USMARC, CanMarc must be sent. To get FINMARC, USMARC must be sent.
+(OID for MARC21 and USMARC are equivalent). 
+
+Solution: This is fixed by the 'backend' attribute for 'syntax' sections
+in the proxy config.
+
+1.2 Attribute 1=12 seems to work - unlike the Voyager target at LoC.
+
+Solution: ensure that yazproxy accepts this attribute now that it seems
+to work.
+
+1.3 All attributes are accepted by the Server. The appropriate behavior is
+to return a diagnostic. 
+
+Solution: "attribute" sections in config is set to only accepts certain
+attributes. Others are rejected with a diagnostic.
+
+1.4 When no preferred Record syntax is provided by a client, the Voyager
+server returns SUTRS record: Failed to retrieve record #x. The correct
+behavior is to return a default record, say USMARC. The server could also
+return a diagnostic, but there do not seem to be an appropriate diagnostic
+for that one.
+
+Solution: This is fixed by the 'backend' attribute and type='none' for
+'syntax' sections in the proxy config.
+
+1.5 Speed of initialize phase. The speed of initilization
+(init-request/init-response) for the the Voyager target at Helsinki
+seem to be acceptable.
+
+Solution: No special precaution to limits/bandwidth needs to be taken.
+
+1.6 Present Requests out of range. The voyager target does not return
+a diagnostic when a client presents a record at a position out of the
+range of a result set.
+
+Solution: The yazproxy automatically deals with this fault.
+
+2. List of targets:
