The endpoint can be one of two things:

-an email address in a mailto: URI form

-a urn:uuid URI that references a ServiceBinding instance. I believe 
this is exactly what you were suggesting.

Here is the definition from ebRIM 2.4 which is currently being reviewed 
and considered by TC for TC approved status.

"

This attribute specifies a URI that identifies an service end point that 
may be used by the registry to deliver notifications. Currently this 
attribute can either be a “mailto” URI (e.g. mailto:someone@acme.com) or 
an “urn:uuid” URI. If it is a “mailto” URI then the registry must use 
the specified email address to deliver the notification via email. If it 
is a “urn:uuid” URI then it must be a reference to a ServiceBinding 
object to a Service that implements the RegistryClient interface as 
defined by [ebRS]. In this case the registry must deliver the 
notification byinvoking the onResponse method of the RegistryClient 
interface.

"

Let us know if this is different from what you were suggesting. Thanks 
again for your valuable comments.
