The difference between LLMNR and mDNS here seems to be that mDNS *requires*

Can I read this as "LLMNR SHOULD be used with domains in the .local
domain" ? Which puts it really in the same baliwick as mDNS (that is the
version that existed before that draft was written with the name mdns ;)

One can of course easily remove the check for the .local from the real
mDNS and use it for anything else too. Just change the MUST into a
SHOULD in the draft and everybody is happy.
