No particular issues...for queries, I assume then that the consumer can just "loop through registered providers" and send the same query, or does the main query url have to be discovered from the provider service document? Either way, sending it to "many" providers (typically, probably not ALL that many) is just looping through the same code as sending it to one...then combining the results at the client side. It has to be queried and combined somewhere, so that seems as efficient as any fancier "cross-provider" query would be.
