I think there are two points to consider: * whether serviceId is the right way to make that information available — I'm fairly sure it isn't, and that we would need an AddressBook interface to do that sufficiently well * whether that feature needs to be part in the v1 of the spec — I personally think that while the use cases that require source-awareness might be interesting, it's more important to finish a first version of the spec that is already useful without that source-awareness than getting bogged into the potentially difficult details of that aspect; that's obviously a judgment call (ISSUE-53) Dom
