That sounds pretty flexible. But don't apps essentially have to be written with a certain 'class' of services to expose and consume in mind? What I'm asking is, how does the LaTeX editor know what interface to expose to TextEdit (and vice-versa)? What's the difference between NeXTSTEP Services and OLE? (Based on the dates of things, it would seem that the NeXT version came first).

Yes: Services predates OLE considerably, not to mention so does Distributed Objects and NEXT PDO [Portable Distributed Objects].
