lol. That's right.

Now, you are talking about DNS-SD without mDNS. Spent some good time
reading up on both, and DNS-SD sounds good for what we're trying to
do. Everybody uses them together, however, and all the nice libraries
(avahi and friends) make no distinction between the two.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong docs - so pointers welcome.

If I'm right, however, we can still write our own simple dns-sd client
"glue" and a abuse named on the XS.

It's not so black-and-white . Whatever its status right now, 802.11s
is still an important consideration.
