Nice idea.

I would view this as an extension to current RIS, or even a new type of service 
(UAS), since it needs to feed something up to the service (so far zypp only gets 
info from repos, does not feed any data, except authentication, up to the 
repos/services).

# add service as usually
$ zypper as [-t uas] URI alias

# - probe the service type, see its a UAS
# - send URIs of defined non-service repos + maybe some other info (product)
# - read response (may be repoindex.xml, maybe something different).
$ zypper refs alias

Of course.
