That's not whete they should go, since that area is specific to
local service implementations.

The problem is that services are defined by different frameworks.
There will be services defined by 3rd-party projects that are not included
in the core zope.

OK, here's my suggestion:

- In zope.component.servicenames define the names of services
   defined by the component architecture.

- In zope.app.servicenames defined the names defined by the spp
   server. Also:

   from zope.component.servicenames import *
