It's not perfect (it just works on books) but a few people on #code4lib found that it validates. More details soon, I'll write it up on http://www.superpatron.com .

It would be very cool to somehow adopt that standard, but due to some very real limitations with the access we have to our ILS, I don't see that happening in a meaningful way. Opensearch would either require a robust implementation from the our vendor (III) or they need to provide the tools that would allow me to do it myself. DC: From what I've read about unAPI, it's a microformat standard, correct? (I may be way off base) I'm very interested in pursuing catalog microformats, especially if there is a standard already, which it looks like you're working on. I'll find you. :) Ed S., Yes, I’ve looked at it.

I'll see if I can't get a little bit of python code to make use of this interface too.
