hmm, I don't think I'm advocating that.  I thought I was advocating that a
service has an interface that can choose via the binding whether to

Could you elaborate on a better way?  Perhaps I jumped to the solution when
I thought I was jumping at the requirement...  We might be in agreement and
it's just that I don't have enough of the context to express it in an
appropriate manner.
