Importing an OAI-PMH XML record as a biblio record
OAI-PMH is a protocol which only uses XML, so we have to submit OAI-PMH XML records to the API.
The API endpoint will do add/update/delete as required based on the information in the OAI-PMH XML record and how it corresponds to data saved in the Koha database.

- I'd prefer /import/biblios/oai_pmh, because we could want another import methods, and I'd prefer to group them by type (i.e. biblios in this case).
- OAI-PMH might support different data formats, do you have plans for that? The /biblios endpoint uses the Accept header to specify that, maybe Content-type is to play a role here. Even if we don't still support other format than MARCXML at this point.

Only noticing tcohen's comments a couple years later...
- I'd be fine with /import/biblios/oai_pmh
- At the plugin level, it accepts text/xml Content-type since the inbound data is OAI-PMH data which encapsulates MARCXML so can't really use the Content-type here to be more specific
- Data that isn't MARCXML is silently ignored at the moment. I don't have any plans to support anything other than MARCXML at this point. However, since OAI-PMH is XML, we could always provide a list of acceptable XML namespaces to Koha, and it could judge based on that
