perfsonar development work

[Loukik Kudarimoti <>]

umm..I am trying to understand your suggestion Maciej. I have a 
question. Are you suggesting that the rnc specification for the LS 
registration message *of a particular service* (not the LS itself) be 
split across two documents - Interface Specification of the LS itself 
and the Interface specification of the particular service?

Loukik.
