I'm not quite clear on what you mean here. The service string seems 
unacceptable because it requires bluez to have a table of every possible 
service and UUID in existence. Or are we talking about different things? 
Right now, the API gives us the following things that potentially 
identify an object:

1) The identifiers returned by GetIdentifiers (currently an arbitrary 
but unique integer, despite dbus-api.txt claiming it returns strings)
2) The UUID
3) The service handle
4) The ascii service string

My implementation provides connect methods for (2), (3) and (4). You 
didn't seem too happy about my patch providing support for (1), so I've 
dropped it :) Or do you just mean that there should be a single method 
and it should work out which piece of information has been passed by the 
app? In that case, I didn't implement it that way because determining 
the type was a bit of a pain and struck me as potentially fragile.
