If it's really part of the computing service and can only be used with it then I think it does have something to do with managing computing tasks. On the other hand, if you have a general delegation service that can manage delegations for any other service then it should probably be published as a separate Service.

You would need to publish the information in some way and document what it means - for example as we have for the ComputingService - StorageService relationship ("close SE").
