The general idea in that JIRA is discovery of "something". The JIRA initially discussed discovery as a means for automatic listener registration. I want to expand that to cover services as well.
The question was really just whether anyone see a need for these to be different processes. Or whether one "discovery contract" (that could handle listeners and/or services) would suffice.
