Yes, I like "selection and invocation" better than "selection and
execution". P is really not about execution, just invocation. Once
invoked, services execute on their own, without P participation. P has
no controls to change service execution run-time. P can only select,
configure, "start" or "invoke" a service, and get the result.

... unless we want to expand P scope to affect things like preview
size dynamically, while the data is being retrieved from the network.
We will be able to control service _execution_ then.

Thanks,
