I note that this document is Informational, yet forms the basis for standards track documents both in the IETF and other SDOs.
Thank you for your review. Can you point me to any standards track IETF documents which might need normative reference to this document?

IETF: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lee-sip-dns-sd-uri-03
IETF: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-garcia-p2psip-dns-sd-bootstrapping-00
XSF: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0174.html

Both the IETF documents have a Normative Ref of dns-sd, the XSF document (also Standards Track, and Draft, hence roughly equivalent to PS) has a formal dependency on it.

A cursory web search for "dns-sd specification" finds published books under the impression that DNS-SD is standards track.

Finally, while looking about for other specifications, I noticed this discussion on the KDE list, dating from just over 4 years ago, which left me quite impressed.

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=109916905222337&w=2

I was particularly impressed by the discussion of how DNS-SD and IDNA interact, especially if the resolver is designed to handle transparent IDNA.

Dave.
