The original wording at least implied some level of interoperability, I'm not

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.
No, it’s more device reuse than code reuse. You shouldn’t have to buy a new
printer to use it with SSD. Or new network cameras, home thermostats, etc.
No it’s not a bidirectional requirement. It’s unidirectional:
A modern client needs to be able to discover a ten-year-old printer even when
it’s remote.
The ten-year-old printer doesn’t need to discover anything new.
