I probably also wouldn't have since X-Hive also has root collection :) Anyway, if there is a problem then it has to be solved. I need to think some more about you suggestions of extending the getService mthod with a context parameter. I personaly still have bad feeling about tying services to collections but that's more about intuition than about arguments (except the one mentioned earlier), so I have to examine it some more.
