Just like entrypoints, service handlers should also be registered by path instead of id. This would allow for more flexible URL schemes and make the ugly custom_service_handler parameter obsolete. It would also prevent problems in case of a misspelled id attribute (see bug 343080).

This would require to register an additional RWTServlet for every ServletHandler, which is problematic at runtime. As an alternative, one could register a servlet with the servlet container instead of using a ServiceHandler.
