This is indeed the proper list. Extended serviceinfo is a fairly new 
feature so it hasn't been fully included in the CGI's yet. The idea is 
that services with extended info should have the same kind of icons as 
the hosts have (action_url, notes_url) in the status listings. The 
problem with this is that even with the hashing code service lookups 
eats a fair amount of CPU and takes quite a while. I'm looking at 
implementing a different CGI system. Preferrably through a NEB-module 
which populates a database in 3nf so that everything is nicely indexed, 
and a GUI written in PHP so that it is a bit easier to extend. Although 
I'm sorry to say this isn't a high priority.
