So the key point is whether it works in an automated fashion.  But if 
I have Google Desktop installed and submit a query, how does this 
apply?  It can search my files and my emails.  If I am using Gmail 
and assign one or more tags to an email and the Gmail functions can 
search it later, how does that apply?  Does it matter if I manually 
enter the search criteria or a script is the immediate initiator?

I don't have answers but a lot of questions.  The initial vision of 
the service registry is still a part of most people's SOA elevator 
speech but it has yet to be effectively used (i.e. I have found 
gaping holes in the "success" stories I've read and have heard far 
more in the way of complaints).  Maybe it also fails to answer many 
of the questions.
