.Mac is the name of Apple's sharing service. The .Mac service

point in distinguishing between individual servers.
Mindspring
Earthlink
Verizon
Flickr
are all examples of services.
Currently, I don't think there's a way (short of making guesses based
on domain names). I could imagine a future where parcels (like our
current flickr, Amazon, ... demos) implement a Service, and that
contains a displayable name.

WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IS CONFUSING:
Collection name: My calendar
Sharing account: Sharing
PROPOSED CHANGE:
Collection name: My calendar
Shared via: Cosmo Sharing Service (or whatever we call the
service in the future)
Q. Can we figure out the server or service name for subscribers
as well?
We certainly know the host name (e.g. "cosmo-
demo.osafoundation.org") and could display that. I'm not sure what
you mean by "service name", though.
