Would it be possible to change Application => Service?

Something line....

The rationale is that ebXML Registry (and Repositroy) is a service not 
an application.

In my understanding...

Applications typically are clients of services and are directly used by 
end users.
Service typically typically require an application client to be accessed 
by end users but may be directly consumed by other services.
