In principle, that's correct, the only reasons the DS needs SP metadata are:
* discovery protocol return location verification
* user interface extensions (logos, etc.)
I'd try and avoid the use of the term "MDX" to mean just Chad's (first) proposed protocol, though; metadata exchange is a broader topic and I'd prefer the list not to end up focussing down on just one niche proposal.
