Actually  you can have many revocation services that serve distinct service or 
resource providers. BTW the revocation service is deintified via a URL and exposes 
a REST API so it can actually be a cluster.
The only real constraints are:
*   the revocation service URL must be reported in the capability tokens for the 
    service/resource associated to that revocation service (but it could act as 
    revocation service for many services/resources)
*   the service has to know which revocation service it has to contact (in reality there 
    is a Policy Decision Point in between; so the service or resource manager does its 
    checks with the PDP)
