Hi Adria,

The point of this implementation here is to open the road for CSW 3.0. 
OpenSearch is a big part of the new specification and it is tightly 
integrated to CSW like in this RFC.

I agree, this would be much simpler for stand alone OpenSearch support.

Yes, it would require some more additions to the opensearch.py but it 
could be easily done for
http://localhost/pycsw/csw.py?q=SearchTerm

Actually I started the implementation with this in mind and then changed 
to the CSW 3 way in the middle. So the initial code lives in the git 
history :)

Yes, the idea is to be able to request the record afterwards using 
outputSchema.
