Thanks Mauricio,

I think I understand the basic principles at work here, but I want to be
sure I'm clear before attempting to document it. Where I'm a bit stumped is
what is involved in overriding the services using the XML:

   - Is the value id attribute restricted to the list provided?  If another
   value is provided is it considered an error?
   - If the id attribute value is "Custom" what does that mean?
   - I assume that the type specified in the type attribute would be the new
   type to register under the existing id which would replace the default
   implementation of the service - is that correct?
   - I gather that the interface attribute is optional but if included the
   value would need an interface that is implemented by the new type specified
   in the type attribute - is that correct?
   - If the interface attribute is present is it restricted to the existing
   interface that corresponds to the default service that's being overridden?

One more thing; can services be overridden programatically?

Cheers,

Symon.
