/**
 * This interface does *not* aim to be a general abstraction of the register but 
 * only to document the calls made from the web service layer into the engine as 
 * a way of isolating the engine and documenting the functionality which will be 
 * needed.

 * <b>THIS IS A TEMPORARY INTERFACE!<b><br/>
 * This interface is in the right place and our code should work through such 
 * an interface but we have not actually designed anything yet. These methods
 * exist only because we need them---we have no larger view of how to proceed.
