There allready exists such a thing, superValues([meta_type]). But I think this is too weak to use as a discovery protocol. An observable may not know or care what type of observer it wants to discover. Also, when it finds a number of various resources, catalogs lets say, does it just notify them all? Is there a concept of a default? Can they negotiate?
Can this be limited by security? Take our Free Zope server, we don't want something to discover everyone else's ZCatalog's What about non-security related? There may be similar instances where you don't want to discover anything other than a specific catalog... Also, can an observer that gets notified during discovery just turn around and so 'no, I don't want to do anything with your notification'? cheers, Chris
