That's correct - I should have used a better example:

'The service name for Samba is smb'

Here we're clearly not referring to command line applications or graphical
interfaces - but simply telling people what the service for a particular
application is.

I;'m not really too fussed about this, but I hope you can see the point
that it would be nice to have a specific markup for a service.
