Not really....if some providers do it one way, and others do it another
way, and if the registry isn't clear on which is which and how to use them,
it becomes a nightmare on the client-side.  Yes, it's easy if I want to
build a client specifically for CADC or (DALServer-built) services, but
throw in legacy SIAv1 services and those that aren't compliant in some way
and a client to get an image from the VO in a general/easy way gets
complicated quickly.

My $0.02,
