On a whim, a friend decided to run some sort of weird 'Core only' multi crossover D&D thing, where players are only allowed to use the core book from any RPG that either works with or can be easily hacked to work with 3.5 (so long as it's self contained and/or also usable to play a game without needing the 3.5 SRD or core books (besides for ability score generation and XP advancement) ). Looking for published materials only (e.g. ISBN, copyright notice, etc.) for this.

WHAT COUNTS AS CORE?
I had to draw the line somewhere, any book that at a minimum fully replaces the player's handbook and does not require the player's handbook or SRD is eligible. It's fine for a core book to provide compatibility options, as long as it doesn't require another product to be complete and is a self contained system. The one exception I've allowed is that products that used the d20 system logo and brand were required to leave out the rules for character creation and advancement, so if a system doesn't tell you how to generate ability scores or give an advancement table, that's fine.
Unfortunately there are a handful of core d20 books that are less compatible than others for whatever reason, and they have been Rightfully Excluded.
I have also intentionally avoided variants of Pathfinder. This is personal preference, I want to relive the weirdest parts of those 3.X days.
Any suggestions for things that are missing that could be added?
