At the Seattle (Sept 2003) EcoGrid meeting we decided:

Revise query.xsd:
  -- add repeatable returnfield element for specifying structure of return records
  
Revise resultset.xsd:
  -- add system, namespace, modificationDate, and creationDate to each record
  -- identifiers for a record are considered relative URIs, with a base value
     of the "system" attribute for that metadata, where the system should 
     contain the GSH for an ecogrid enabled server:
     so, for example, system="ecogrid://ecogrid.nceas.ucsb.edu"
                      identifier="/knb.1.1"
  -- modify the record internal structure by creating a composite document 
     that contains all of the values specified in returnfield elements with
     their parent elements. If the path does not reference a leaf node 
     text element, then all of the children of that node are returned.   
     For example, if the query had:
       returnfield="/eml/dataset/title" and returnfield="/eml/dataset/creator"
     The record would look like:

       <record ...>
           <eml>
               <dataset>
                   <title>Some random title</title>
                   <creator>
                       <individualName>
                           <givenName>Matthew</givenName>
                           <surName>Jones</surName>
                       </individualName>
                   </creator>
               </dataset>
           </eml>
