There must be some way for the system to select. this has to
come out of the rule system or be controlled by the proxylet
extending the rules.

Hm, what about a scenario in which the same service is available
locally (i.e. on the OPES device) as well as remotely (i.e. on a
callout server). In this case, it would be nice to have a something
like "if my local system load is below a certain threshold, I call the
local service, otherwise I use a remote callout". How would you
implement this if only the service itself takes care about adapting to
dynamic behavior? And, no, I do NOT like the idea of chaining multiple
services :)
