Looks good Scott. Very clean explanation in the beginning of the tut. However, I am not clear one one thing. You say

"There are many situations, however, where it would be desirable to expose an existing (e.g. web-based REST) service as a Remote Service"

When you say expose, do you mean creating an OSGi service that talks to the REST server as some kind of proxy?

Yes, that's right.   On the remote service consumer side, all remote services are represented as a proxy.   One unique thing about ECF's implementation of RSA distribution is that we allow full customization in the creation and implementation of this proxy.

I'll add some prose here to provide further clarity.
