Could you use the runtimeservices.getAttribute method to pass/retrieve
information?

I'd have to review the code to be sure.

ah, no - I see - we're getting a context on init(), so it must be initialized 
during template rendering?

... which means I definitely don't want to do anything expensive or brittle 
here ...

hmmm ... perhaps an application scope tool could do the job here - that could setup the 
service objects and provide access to them, then one could get instances of the 
"service objects" from there by retrieving the tool from the context provided 
in the directive's init()?
