Does it have to be done centrally, or would extending the tools to
handle multiple sources (ala apt/yum) be a better approach.  That way,
anyone that wanted to could publish a catalog and users/sites could
pick and choose a superset of 'strict' CSW to meet their needs at
their own discretion?

This would take time, of course...

Just thinking out loud.
