Dude,

GServiceBrowser is a client-side wrapper only, right?  It does not cover 
the service registration or advertising half of mDNS.  It will not help 
me in implementing shared notes in Tomboy, which has been blocking only 
on waiting for Gnome/distros to decide on the mDNS stack to use.

We still need to "decide" on which mDNS implementation we are going to 
use.  Or else start hauling ass in implementing and testing a full 
abstraction layer, learning where the abstraction leaks, massaging it, 
iterating a few times, etc etc...
