[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Zotero, part two

Okay, tracked down how Zotero determines what format it expects to be
MODS. From
https://www.zotero.org/svn/extension/branches/1.0/scrapers.sql in the
check_formats() function:

"""               
if(format. at namespace_uri == "http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3" || lowerName ==
"mods" || format. at docs == "http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/")
"""

It grabs the first match and uses that, so we need the first matching
MODS entry in the unAPI formats list to be the MODS v3 version record
that we want Zotero to ingest.

Further on, we can see that Zotero 1.0 exports items in MODS 3.2 format,
so we could take a wild guess that it wants MODS 3.2 for import. One
could walk through all of the import logic to see if that's wrong, but
I'm not going to do that. Yet.
