So far I don't think we have a good idea of what use cases the ServiceType should support, i.e. under what circumstances would you query for a specific Type? For a computing service you can get every instance with objectclass=GLUE2ComputingService (or equivalent in xml), and if you want to use a specific protocol you can query by the EndpointInterfaceName, so I'm not sure when you would want something intermediate. If the GOC DB does have a practical use case it may be that that should drive what we publish - I agree that it would seem strange if the GOC DB uses different Types.
