Say you want to filter *out* stuff where field "oai_set" = "hide" 
(that's your Y = X).

You'll have a set of items that will have oai_set = "hide". Then also 
flag the other items with (eg.) oai_set = "show" and filter on that 
value in OAI.

Then in oai.pl:

$oai->{filters} = [
     { meta_fields => [ 'oai_set' ], value => 'show', match => 'EX' } ]
];

You see what I mean?

I suggest this approach because I don't think there is a "match" 
operator in EPrints that can do "not equal to" (the opposite of match => 
'EX' on the above line).
