Yeah, I'd misread what you said there.

Hmm, these probably aren't suitable for form submission anyway. It's not like
they're providing HTML back.

Yes, this would be good. I just had to conform to what was already in koha. Or
really, pick one of the methods in koha and conform to that (which was an
obvious choice: pick the one that gives me consistency with the authentication
endpoint.)

Some rationalisation of what's available would be good. Note that with my
changes to C4::Service, it'd be quite easy to allow a 'format=json' type
argument to change what you're getting. We could even add support for
'format=usmarc' if you want to use that as your formatting method. I'm sure 
someone somewhere likes that idea. They would be a crazy person.
