I think it's quite likely that we will have reusable UWS-client libraries. I don't know how reusable a UWS-service toolkit would be between applications of UWS. It would be interesting to know if, for example, the CDS toolkit would work for both TAP and CEA, or whether it would be easier to write separate code for each kind of service.
