  Obeying the specs don't exactly mean having the same names or even
having the same components as the specs recommend. All that matters is
that one implementation is able to interoperate with the others.
Having said that I'm not sure the student succeeded in following the
specs or not.

  As you might already know, GSoC has ended a while ago. The student
promised that he'll try to find some time to finish the project but
AFAIK he didn't succeed.

 I'm sure there is no other GUPnP-based effort at least. If you are
interested, I strongly suggest you contact Sunil (the GSoC student)
and continue the development of the project. I'm sure Sunil will be
very much receptive to contributions and even big design changes (if
needed).
