First thought: wasn't SRU and svc already a REST interface?

Second thought: actually, this is for OPAC and svc is aimed at
librarian tasks, so it's complementary.  Should it be merged into svc
as svc/opac that gets exposed on the opac as well as the intranet?

Third thought: this returns JSON where svc returns XML.  Could
we make both offer both JSON and XML for maximum compatibility?

Fourth thought: the Koha code doesn't seem to have a search method.
Is SRU (or do I mean SRW) used anyway?

Hope that's useful,
