Comment (by tbrooks):
Indeed a useful conversation. I think there are two key things that my
story illustrates well:
The CV that I was dealing with was a group of folks trying to get a CV for
Jonathan Dorfan ex-Director of SLAC, whose CV is around 800 papers long.
This is a typical use case where you need to serve a high-profile user
(who naturally has a long list of publications), who has a need to do this
once or twice only (and thus will not/need not learn some unfriendly
system like hacking the URL).
To resolve this I think we need to do two things in response:
1) Raise the upper limit clearly available to users in the dropdown.
(25/50/100/1000(warning-may be slow) ) would seem like a nice set of
choices. Alternatively one could set certain formats as nolimit or high-
limit formats. Clicking through a list of 800 publications 50 at a time
is usually not something folks will want to do. And most people don't
write to us to find out how to hack the URL.
2) For those who can't/don't select larger limits on number of recs, the
xml comment solution proposed by Tibor is exactly right, and will be very
helpful
