I wanted to set up a set of default properties for the service. What I had in mind is that the bundle sets up some default properties in the manifest header and those are passed along to the registration of the MSF. Then when a Client needs to create an instance, they provide additional properties, or override the default ones specified. If I need to change the defaults, then I can just change the manifest header. For example, I have some MSFs that create instances of Topic Subscribers. The clients don't need to know the name of the topic that is being subscribed to, that is set in the bundle's Manifest header. They just provide some properties specific to their instance. Like I mentioned, it's really no different from passing the properties along through the MSF's constructor, which can then pass them along to the newly created instance of the class. I just thought that there would be an easy way to get them from the configuration.
