To be clear, is the real goal here ISO-compliant metadata, or is it access to CKAN sites through the CSW API?

CSW itself doesn't require you to use ISO metadata. CKAN's minimum Packages still don't meet CSW's core returnables, but its gets you a little closer, and the required csw:Record metadata encoding is **much** easier to map to/from than full-blown ISO.

Thanks,
