a generic description of one of the interfaces defined
by this service standard.
This element can provide details about the interface
that apply to all implementations. Each interface
element should specify a role with a value starting
with "std:" or, if there is only one standard interface,
is equal to "std".
Applications that, for example, wish to build a GUI
to the service on-the-fly would first access this generic
description. Site-specific variations, such
as supported optional arguments or site specific
arguments, would be given in the actual implemented
service description and overrides any common information
found in this generic description. This generic interface
description can be matched with the site-specific one
using the role attribute.
