</div></div>Well, not so sure about that. I indeed thought about the case where you want to<br>
browse a specific service (this also makes it more attractive to be used by content<br>
providers who want to build functionality around "their service"). I think being able<br>
to specialize here makes sense (but the default / easiest way should probably be<br>
"search in all providers".<br></blockquote><div> </div></div></div><div>+1 <br><br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
