A couple of other things:
* It doesn't appear to have authority records anywhere.
* Holidays are just a list of dates, they don't seem to have support for
repeating values. Understandably, some software may not support it, but
something like <date repeat="yearly">... should perhaps work if possible.
* The holdingTypeLists are a bit odd.
For example, it groups holding types (I assume these are similar in spirit to
item types or collection codes) with funds and vendors. Also holdings do:

    <holding status="active" added="2009-07-08" barcode="78061"
biblio="b51350263" usageCount="2" priceCents="2000" ca
ll="791.43" id="h51006265" edited="2009-07-08">
      <type>ht12</type>
      <type>ht49</type>
    </holding>

where ht12 says it's a 700-799 item, and ht49 says that it's from Brodart.
Semantically, these things are pretty much unrelated and yet they're grouped
together, which is weird.

* What does usageCount on biblios do? I assume its total checkouts on items,
but not sure about biblios.
* We'd probably end up adding a koha-specific namespace to it in the end to
allow the addition of things that it doesn't make sense to support in the spec,
but it's still best to get a solid foundation for the lowest-common-denominator
interchange.
