I found the service documentation to be a little confusing when I first
read it.  The slight incorrect statements (which I have now corrected
after confirming the intended behavior with Ludo) did not help clarify
matters.  My explanation was as much an attempt to help you as it was to
remind myself (yet again) how all this stuff works!

If anything is still unclear, please let me know and I will try to
explain more.  I hope to eventually go back and improve the services
documentation further in the manual, once I feel I have a strong enough
grasp of how it all works.

I'm glad you were able to get it working!  Hopefully my explanation,
along with the manual, will help clarify any doubts you had about why it
works.

Excellent!  It's good to know I was able to help even a little.
