Hi Mark,

Looks like the RFC is getting a solid proposal. Looking forward to  
the final one :).

Hmmm true. Maybe this is getting a bit to theoretical. I have to  
admit I have never tried this before, but what if you deregister the  
service fist. Nobody checks if it's me who is deregistering my  
service or somebody else. After that it would be possible to update  
the object (or deregister the old one and register the new version).  
Is that possible?

Same thing. What about deleting the childs first, then the parent and  
afterwards reregistering the whole bunch (childs first of course).
