There is no such page for the test registry. I can make one if you wish though.

Sure I can, let me know the service name/authority and I will remove them.

Correct, the script is only for people updating their already working services.
In the future, the RDF will be returned to you so long as you provide a
signature url.
If no signatureURL is provided, then I guess that you could use the
getSignatureForm. I wouldn't be generating this stuff by hand ;-)
