Yes I recognize that, and from what I can see that is going to happen if 
you harvest with or without the 'set=ivo_publishers'

Yep I recognize that, my intention for a full Registry is simply during 
the harvest cycle to harvest RofR without a 'set' parameter (and use 
'from' except the first time) which as stated by OAI should give me all 
of RofR resources.  For all other publishing registries I will use 
'ivo_managed' the only thing different is to make sure RofR is harvested 
first to make sure if there is a updated vg:Registry in a publishing 
Registry that I will have the most up to date record versus the possible 
out of date RofR one.

I guess it is all of about implementation details so nothing to worry 
about.  I just did not see how the 'set' is really giving you anything 
different except for a special type of client (not a Full registry) that 
does not want the Standard Resources.
