[MOBY-dev] Can't deregister services originally registered through methods, then converted to RDF

[Edward Kawas]

Hi Frank,

You can't remove a service if you specified a signature url.
With that being said, if you give me the servicenames and
authority of the services that you would like to remove, I
can 'erase' the signature url and then you can remove them.

Does this sound good to you? And to confirm, you are talking
about services registered in the default Mobycentral
registry?
