That's how I designed it. Since location is modeled to be an URI, you
could distinguish your services via e.g. a path.

osgiservices://server_ip:9278/a
osgiservices://server_ip:9278/b

Scott and me had a controversial discussion about this a while ago too [1].

Definitely not. There can be many instances providing a service type.

Obviously this works too and if you need the added flexibility over 1.,
you should stick with this solution.
