Current (1.2) spec says:
The following base URI pattern is to be used at each data center implementing FDSN services: <site>/fdsnws/<service>/<majorversion>/
But that limits datacenters to a single instance of each type of web service, and this requirement is already an issue, for example IRIS with the PH5 repository at:
http://service.iris.edu/ph5ws/dataselect/1
So, maybe should relax this requirement by saying a compliant service url should be
<site>/<repository>/<service>/<majorversion>/
where <repository> can be defined by the datacenter if needed, but the primary url for a fdsn web service with a datacenter should have repository be 'fdsnws'.
