I'm prototyping some BDX and other technologies and ran into the following issue: In SML, one URI pattern is defined, to be used when a retrieving metadata for a specific document type: http://<hash over recipientID>.<schemeID>.<SML domain>/<recipientID>/services/<documentType> Section 2.2 of the PEPPOL SMP suggests SML/SMP also provide an interface to retrieve a ServiceGroup for a given Participant Identifier.  I n this case we don't know the document type. What is the URI pattern to use to retrieve a ServiceGroup and where in SML or in SMP is it defined ? When using NAPTR U records, the second occurrence of recipientID in the URI would no longer needed as the record can directly reference a recipient-specific resource on the metadata server, it is not just a domain.  That is an improvement. But that raises the question how to combine that referenced resource identifier with a variable documentType.  Can the regular _expression_ be used? The /services/ substring in the URI seems to be unnecessary in SML already.
