Yes, parallel connectors.  It means that at a minimum, Remoting 3 would be 
integrated with an XML schema to create basic endpoint and service 
deployments, but it wouldn't necessarily relate to any existing services 
using Remoting 2 in any way.

The idea is that we could then start moving stuff over to use Remoting 3 
gradually.  Though that might not really be possible in practice.  Just 
seems like a way to make the migration bite-sized.
