Yup, agreed, the given services are typically more closely related to 
devices such as the ones you mentioned (hmm..., a "proxy" could 
possible run a local OPES proxylet for logging/billing, what about 
this case?).

I'm just wondering whether this consideration rules out realizing such 
services in an OPES framework and whether this is intentional or 
whether we need more clarification on this.
