Yes, it tells us that BibDesk doesn't currently support searching
SpringerLink :).
SRU is a standard for crafting query URLs, and it looks like records are
returned as XML (the LoC example uses MARCXML/DC/MODS). It could eliminate
some of the problems in z39.50, but leaves you with a requirement of
converting XML to BibTeX.

No. You have to write Obj-C code for it, after using WSMakeStubs to
generate boilerplate object implementations from a WSDL. Probably more pain
than most people want to go through, but you can look at the ISI and DBLP
service code in BibDesk for example.
As an aside, the present search sheet interface needs to be redone if any
more search types are added, I think, and its controller code is a bit hard
to follow now.
