Re: service names - one registry vs. two registries

[Marc Blanchet <marc.blanchet at viagenie.ca>]

my 2 cents:
- roughly, it does not matter.
- I have a slight bias towards one single registry so that all 
assignments related to "transport services" are in one place. simpler 
for implementors, for protocol designers, etc... so voting for one 
registry for easier to find info.
