The CSW 2.0.2 specification describes the interfaces between clients and catalogue services. General CSW 2.0.2 is specified in [http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/index.php?artifact_id=20555&passcode=qjct5w4sevgv7apfze7v OGC 07-006r1 OpenGIS® Catalogue Services Specification].

=== GetCapabilities ===

According to 07-110r2: The sections parameter may be used to request a subset of the complete capabilities document; the value is a comma-separated list of section names. The set of recognized section names shall be as specified in Table 7 of OGC 05-008 and Table 58 of OGC 07-006r1, with the exception of Contents: ServiceIdentification  ServiceProvider, OperationsMetadata, Filter_Capabilities

The CSW-discovery.xsd is not according the specification and Filter_Capabilities is mandatory. To create valid documents we a following the xsd, returning always the Filter_Capabilities section.
