Is this better?

The original wording at least implied some level of interoperability, I'm not sure "leverage and build upon" does that. It sound more like code reuse is important rather than interoperability.

    REQ5:   SSD should inter-operate with current link scope
            DNS-SD/mDNS protocols and deployments to the extent
            practicable.

I think my answer to the question is bidirectional would be the best case. But, remember these are competing requirements to be balanced. So, in the worst case ships-in-the-night meets REQ5 and REQ6.
