2. Returning an array of services is not flexible.
Progressive discovered service return (like sending an event per granted service) seems a better choice than a fixed array of services.
This model is closer to existing discovery node.js modules.

This gives the flexibility to the user agent to send discovered services at various times:
- according the granting process (always-granted services, user-clicked-granted services...)
- according the discovery process (new service appearing).
Also, recalling the NSD API when a new service is appearing may not be that efficient, both for web app (user denied a previously agreed service, by mistake?) or for user (which service is new?).
