The discovery ought to be "what types of job are acceptable" and not what resources are there. Or rather, the latter is part of some administrative interface which is misleading for job-submitting users and middleware.
Yes! Yes! *waves the supporting flag*
I also agree. From a user's POV, I pretty much don't care on what resource (within the constraints I specify) the job is run, just that it is at some point.
If my job may run on ten different machines, I may be interested in the one which provides the best value (objective function, min cost, min completion time, ...). Hence, just meeting the constraints may not be sufficient.
