I was claiming that discoverability *is* an integral part of the
definition.  It's just already accounted for by defining that a Web
service be URI identifiable.

I know this is a bit different than some Web service work people have
already done, but this is (IMO) one of those times where our mandate to
be integrated with Web architecture effects our work.
