We've a lot of other patron data in Koha and it would be good to
access that - and update it as well, auth permitting.  Should we
extend PAIA or is there another standard that we should consider?

(Of course, Koha can use things like LDAP for its patron data,
but for various reasons, some libraries want Koha as primary store
and SIP is a bit hard-core and doesn't cover all updates.)

Thanks for any feedback,
