A while ago there was some discussion of "wouldn't=20
mDNS/Rendezvous/Bonjour that doesn't suck be nice?" on the list. I for=20
one agree with Owen that it's important for a whole lot of things and=20
will get more so in trying to deliver the promises of IPv6. (If you want=20
"network everywhere" you probably need "zero-configuration everywhere",=20
and the network that's everywhere is IP.)
I also think it's an underestimated contribution to the success of Apple=20
in the iDevice era, much as network people tend to hate it.
So perhaps we could identify what it is about mDNS service discovery=20
that we hate and what could be improved.

The only thing worse than e-mail disclaimers...is people who send e-mail=20
to lists complaining about them
