Right - thats what we are saying. The lookup string is just a key. That key 
may be mapped to a more complex notion in the Block/ComponentInfo.

What is the correct terminology though;

In Phoenix:
Role == lookup Key
Service == Complex Notion

In Fortress:
Role == key (however key implies Complex Notion)

We need to find a term to designate the complex notion and another term to 
designate the lookup key. In traditional literature Role designates the 
Complex Notion.

Thats what we are trying to do. Whats your preference? We need one term to 
designate the lookup key and one to designate the complex notion.
