I started doing this as a MARCXML output from the OL data, then  
stopped when I realized I couldn't make it "real library data." If I  
can find my file and figure out how to get it called by an API, I'd be  
happy to make it available for experimentation. However -- big however  
-- I want it to be perfectly clear that these are NOT AARC2/MARC  
records, yet I know that people will assume they are, then come back  
and want them to be better.

That's the rub.
