What I had in mind was something that reflected the case (we have such a
case in freebXML Registry implementation) where a web browser is used to 
access a JSP/Servlet based web based User Interface (thin UI). The thin 
UI is the actual Registry Client and talks to the registry interfaces 
using SOAP over HTTP or HTTP/S.

Maybe in that case it is misleading to call the Web Browser a Registry 
Client? How should we capture the case I am trying to convey?
