The mDNS specificiation is publicly available, and is the result of
many years of open public discussion. There are multiple
independent open source implementations.
It is not sufficient to make it an open standard (by your criteria,
Java or PDF would be non-proprietary). The most important criteria is
the fact that the specification is NOT controlled by any given private
entity.
