It's more a "here's all the code I need to write" <g>. It's mostly
a "developer's interface" at the moment; something quick for me to
test all the functions and SQL code that I'm currently writing.

I'm getting there, slowly but surely. Once I have all the DB access
code written for the literal FRBR parts (regardless of whether the
user interface mentions FRBR, the code and database need to talk
like that), then packaging them together as specific/generic/advanced
searching will be a lot easier (as I can just start plucking existing
code APIs out of the trees).
