[PEPr] Comment on Web Services::Services_urlTea

Chuck Burgess (http://pear.php.net/user/ashnazg) has commented on the proposal for Web Services::Services_urlTea. Comment: Looks clear enough... another good simple service tackled :) I'm curious though, contrasting this with _TinyURL... could this be the start of many small URL Shortener services that could all start following a top-level interface, where the specific implementations (TinyURL, urlTea) become almost "drivers" ? Just a thought to consider going forward. If say you built a top-level interface that all these new provider-specific implementations all followed, I could further picture them being used in combination with each other as backups for each other. Meaning, if I built an app that used your URL Shortener package(s), I could program my code just against your interface, with config options set to utilize X number of your provider implementations (round-robin, or 1stChoice-2ndChoice-etc) and all those providers could implicitly back each other up if any are unreachable or down.
