Looks good to me. The only thing that bugs me is that the  " Automated
Service Configuration Document Format" you define doesn't have its own media
type. That will make it impossible to reuse in other scenarios and ambiguous
how to process the target of a service-configuration link because other
people may start using their own JSON flavors. I would suggest to define a
media type or at list a profile URI to make this unambiguous.


HTH,
