The UDDI spec has a subscription API (implementation optional) that is to be used to essentially notify clients of changes.

Have you seen anything about potential additions to the spec to accommodate a leasing model between services and the registry (i.e. if the registry hasn't seen a lease renewal from a service in some time then it is dead and cleaned up after)? I can understand that you may want a service registration to persist even without a lease renewal but this could be specified at service registration time and subject to policy that is enforced on the registry side. I would think that the problem of an ever growing registry containing many dead endpoint/access point references to services would make this an attractive option.

Many Thanks,
