I just reread the e-mail and realized you were saying the exact opposite... 
that the contributions methods should be the superset of the services... 
whereas I was thinking it made sense for the service's markers to be a superset 
of the contribution's markers.  But if you just changed the equals to contains 
all in the code, that would make the code look for the service's markers to be 
a superset of the contribution's markers.  Doesn't that make more sense? 

@Color @Blue
contributeSomething(...)


@Color
SomeService()

We probably wouldn't want contributeSomething to contribute into SomeService, 
because the additional marker suggests that we are trying to contribute more 
specifically than just @Color.

But if we had:

@Color @Blue
SomeService

@Color
contributeSomething()

Then /probably/ contributeSomething should contribute to SomeService.  That 
makes the Service's markers a superset of the contribution's markers. 

Cheers,

Robert

PS: Yes, I realize my syntax for marking a service is wrong.  Consider the 
above pseudocode. :)
