Right. I'm looking forward to seeing a protocol that incorporates
this notion.
My imagination doesn't fly far enough at this time of night to
figure out any relationship beteen a ".local" name and the term
"legitimacy". But it's late in the evening, so my imagination is
not flying very far - perhaps mDNS works because they deliberately
abandoned the idea of name ownership.
Don't forget that the purpose of multicast DNS / Zeroconf /
Rendezvous / Bonjour is service discovery. When you've discovered a
service it's helpful to be able to refer to it by name, but the whole
name lookup thing seems almost incidental.
YMMV.
Well, isn't the purpose of a standards organization to make sure that
even though your milage may vary, at least you know whether those
miles are 1609 or 1852 meters in length?
