And how about we change the wording for value (and the optional DisplayTerm) in Scan?
As you will have seen by now, I've asked the SRU list for advice on displayTerm in Scan. If no one speaks up for it there, then I'll drop my argument and suggest that we deprecate it in Scan.
Might need to forward a summary of the discussions thus far....
I'm a little nervous about redefining "value" in Scan responses. The values in Scan are ordered. If we conclude that "anything goes" there, then what is the ordering?
The ordering is what we make of it. Even "alphabetical" ordering of "terms as they are in the index"--- those at the 2006 SRU workshop in The Hague will recall (and OCLC PICA was one of the voices alongside mine)--- is not without its issues. There can be no "universally accepted" order except what servers think are right--- and in a number of our bibliographic/mediagraphic projects over the years we've had a large number of different orderings and rooms filled with committees discussing endlessly what alphabetical ordering to use..
The only condition for order is that the order remains consistent. This is needed for indexing into a list. The 102nd element of a list remains the 102nd element of a list as long as the list is unchanged.
As long as "ordering" is consistent from the server it does not matter if the terms are "exactly as they are in the index" or legitimate search terms.
