So, there aren't any tokens being passed back in forth in this case (to be
honest, there are resumption tokens that can be passed back in to an OAI
provider for other types of requests).
I had thought it might be a good idea to try to think about the HTTP status
('200', '404', etc) in a thing I'm working on, and while I realize I can
get to it with a `//@status` , I had thought a more direct expression would
be more suited (what if there are other `@status` attributes, etc). I even
tried taking my shoes off, to no avail. :)
In any case, thank you!
Best,
Bridger
