*If* we do this, and I'm not saying we will, the best way would be to 
use the EE injection facilities.  In other words, use @Resource or a 
resource-env-ref with maybe some customized mappedName attribute to 
designate the service - or perhaps a completely different annotation or 
descriptor altogether.  This would incidentally be compatible with our 
existing EE injection system which uses MSC services anyway for setting 
up dependencies.
