[UR-WG] how to publish services information

[john alan kennedy]

Hi,

I think it may be interesting to know the implementation but I am 
struggling to see why it is a MUST and also how we would aim for the 
MUST NOT Clash.

If it is used I agree a project should themselves ensure that no clashes 
occur but only the infrastructure/project using the standard can define 
their resource types and ensure this.

can someone help clear this up for me - I may have missed some of the 
background discussion?

cheers
