If you look at some of the examples (specifically 
https://svn.internet2.edu/svn/perfsonar/trunk/perfsonar/schema/example-instances/sonar/LS/test/LSRegisterRequest.xml) 

notice that the 'capability' i.e. what the MA is capable of delivering 
is placed in metadata blocks, inside of each data section below the 
service description.  Any description (domain name, or other specific 
things) that TOPS is capable of delivering should be described in the 
underlying data, and not at the service level.
