Ah. That is more clear indeed. Something like those method calls :
* "GetAccountsList"
 in    : nil
 out   : list of strings (account names)
* "Register"
 in    : string (account name)
 out   : nil
* "Unregister"
 in    : string (account name)
 out   : nil

and this signal :
* "account-register"
 data  : string (account name), boolean (t/f = registered/unregistered)

Question : is a string enough ? Will there only ever be a single type of 
account, or shouldn't we think something more generic ?
