I think that the proposal may be overly complex and genericized.. defining a communications bus, service locator, etc. seems to be the opposite of "convention over configuration". Better would be things like Bill Katz's recent post on defining a common DSL for authentication. The service registry becomes Usenet and the Rails wiki. The protocol becomes "authors talk to each other". The pointer is Google, and the naming convention is decided by the authors for any given service... But then I can't really think of a whole lot of situations OTHER than authentication, version control, wiki, and maybe blogging where you'll likely have multiple engines implementing a common API but different underlying schemes.
