It is simpler and less complex for one entity to reference another,
than to create a 3rd entity that describes the relationship.

Creating a 3rd entity that describes a relationship between two
other entities makes the most sense when you can't alter the
relating entities (because they're already defined or someone else
owns them), or they are generally unrelated except in a special
case of limited interest.

If the intention is that Services should generally be associated
to AdminDomains it's more straightforward to describe this as
service attributes.

MDS4-friendlyness wasn't a factor in the above suggestion. I believe
MDS4 is neutral about how entities relate to each other.
