I'm not yet convinced it should be PAWS, but just wanted to float the idea,
since the
the messages are so similar, namely:

 - Location-aware service
 - Ability to express a list of (name, url) pairs in the response
 - Preconfiguration of some "root" server

I just don't see how a deployment would work without preconfiguration of
some sort.
I think it might be confusing to define a protocol that we don't know how
to make real.

Even if we were to add it to PAWS, though, it would be a separate set of
functionalities, such that
 - A Database MAY implement only the LIsting service
 - A Database MAY implement only the Spectrum service
 - A Database MAY implement both

A Database implementing the Listing service may consult other Listing
services to minimize retry logic on Devices.
