Would it be a legal OpenURL to use any of those in an OpenURL? They
aren't approved for OpenURL use, right?
But if I have to do something non-standard with OpenURL, might as well
use a non-OpenURL standard, sure.
In general, the lack of easy extensibility of OpenURL is a flaw that
hopefully we will learn from in subsequent standards.

Hmm, I could send a DC KEV OpenURL (ie info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dc ; there
is no format for an XML DC? Kind of odd), and use the "type" element.

Other possibilities here would be:
http://alcme.oclc.org/openurl/servlet/OAIHandler?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=info:ofi/fmt:xml:xsd:MARC21
and
http://alcme.oclc.org/openurl/servlet/OAIHandler?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=info:ofi/fmt:xml:xsd:mods
The latter is in trial use, but it would be odd for it not to be
approved at some point in the not too distant future.
