(1) go to http://www.nzetc.org/

(2) enter a search term (or none at all)

(3) hit enter

(4) note the 'view as rss' link at the bottom

(5) examine the rss for our use of ODPS

The relevant portions of the RSS are things like:

     <link title="document as ePub" 
href="http://www.nzetc.org/downloads/Ba04Spo.epub" 
type="application/epub+zip" rel="http://opds-spec.org/acquisition"/>
     <link rel="http://opds-spec.org/thumbnail" type="image/jpg" 
href="http://www.nzetc.org/etexts/Ba04Spo/Ba04SFco(t120).jpg"/>
     <link rel="http://opds-spec.org/cover" type="image/jpg" 
href="http://www.nzetc.org/etexts/Ba04Spo/Ba04SFco.jpg"/>

Our system lets people use their eBook readers to subscribe to searches 
for things like "books in Māori" or "books mentioning Captain Cook"
