LLMNR isn't a competitor to mDNS.  They attempt to address different

We see to be living in some kind of Alice Through the Looking Glass
world here.  The llmnr drafts are even called `-mdns-' !

I favor adoption of LLMNR because in a world of disconnected and 
intermittently connected networks there's a need for applications to 
still be able to work - and being able to "work" includes being able to 
lookup the same DNS names that the applications would normally use in a 
connected network.

This is not what people are trying to deploy it for, and it is
distinctly unclear that LLMNR is at all the right answer for this
problem.
