Anything non-OPAC could qualify, e.g. a union catalog based on OAI-PMH. Or even
an OPAC instance for staff use only.

GetRecord response has header/setSpec to indicate which sets the record belongs
to. It should reflect suppression by excluding a set where the record would be
marked deleted. So if we have sets "all" and "opac", a suppressed record would
only have <header><setSpec>all</setSpec></header>.
