  I'd say that there would be one of two ways for JUD to function.

  1) As a transport.

     This would allow virtually *anything* to communicate by simply using 
a 'registry hub' address.

  2) As a server module.

     This COULD be done, but I'd say it belongs in the transport level, as it 
in and of itself would also be doing things, and really doesn't belong in 
server itself..

  As a matter of fact, the hub transport could be made modular in the same way 
that jserver currently is, and allow the data to be stored using modules just 
as jserver does..
