Services that deal with particular kinds of data need to advertise it.  
In your original example the SQL-MA and the CL-MP would both register 
the OWAMP eventType.  The SQL-MA may advertise other eventTypes as well 
(as would the CL-MP including ping and iperf, etc.).  From the 
standpoint of discovery it is just important to categorize things properly.

Other metadata (e.g. the serviceType etc.) would help the interested 
client/service/user decide on other issues such as if they are 
interested in an MA or an MP.
