+1.
Greg. I think using the 'type' parameter is one good idea but prefer [{...}]
approach. Using 'type' to indicate multiple would add complexity to service
implementation as well as service picker logic - i.e., the service
identification with (action, type) pair, etc. As mentioned in [1], [{...}]
style is being used in quite a few places in web context including the ones
Tobie quoted above.
