Okay, so then does it matter? I won't be using those apps, I was just 
using them as a way to test what was going on. Do other apps that look 
for published services use their own inhouse db? Or do they just search 
for particular service types and ignore the rest (in which case I don't 
need to worry about them showing up elsewhere)... ?
