The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to

the following document:
- 'DNS-Based Service Discovery '
<draft-cheshire-dnsext-dns-sd-05.txt> as an Informational RFC
The IANA section of the dns-sd draft describes a process for
registration of SRV service identifiers, but there is another draft
doing the same thing: <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-
gudmundsson-dns-srv-iana-registry-00.txt>.
So which of these two drafts is meant to define the actual SRV
service type registry?

That text has been in DNS-SD since the start, back in 2001 when it
was called "Discovering Named Instances of Abstract Services using
DNS" (draft-cheshire-dnsext-nias-00.txt).
I have absolutely no ego at stake over ownership of that issue -- I
simply put it in because someone pointed out that RFC 2782 failed to
define an IANA registry for its service names, and since DNS-SD/NIAS
depends on SRV records and identifying service types by name instead
of number, without an IANA registry the specification would be
somewhat handicapped.
