[MOBY-l] Hello World example Service

[Ken Steube]

Thx for the helloPlanet.  After I do a little more studying I'll develop a
couple more services people can use as models.

If you list the services now you'll see there are 31 new services my
workshop attendees registered and ran this last weekend.  They are all
under the authURI http://mobyed1.sdsc.edu, and I'll delete these shortly
since they're just testers.

We need some way for new MOBY programmers to register a few test services
without cluttering up the list of services so badly. Try Mark's CGI client
and you'll see the registry is messy right now.

I'd like to suggest we have an authURI like http://test for this purpose.
findService() would ignore these unless you ask for them.

Another idea was suggested: service names beginning with '_' or 'test_'
should be ignored unless otherwise requested.
