A while ago there was some discussion of "wouldn't
mDNS/Rendezvous/Bonjour that doesn't suck be nice?" on the list. I for
one agree with Owen that it's important for a whole lot of things and
will get more so in trying to deliver the promises of IPv6. (If you want
"network everywhere" you probably need "zero-configuration everywhere",
and the network that's everywhere is IP.)
I also think it's an underestimated contribution to the success of Apple
in the iDevice era, much as network people tend to hate it.
So perhaps we could identify what it is about mDNS service discovery
that we hate and what could be improved.
