Wait, I'm so confused. Is SRU 2.0 actually a published standard, or are 
you just showing us a work in progress that nobody should be writing 
code to yet?

I'm confused because I thought it was just a draft work in progress, but 
then you talk about official vs unofficial copies... an unofficial copy 
of a draft work in progress that isn't a spec yet anyway?  Very confused.

If I'm planning on writing software to SRU... do you recommend I use the 
(until now not publically available so I didn't have a choice) 
"unofficial" SRU 2.0 thing, or is that still just a draft work in 
progress nobody should be writing software to yet?
