DNS-SD TXT RR's are a sequenze of zero limited strings "key1=value1" ...
"keyn=valuen"
In my current grash/dsn-sd draft i have just proposed to encode this in
CBOR with as little as possible changes, e.g.:
[ "key1=value1", ... "keyn=valuen" ]
Thinking that one needs to be able to parse this when using DNS-SD, so why
parse differently. But of course that logic was flawed, only e.g.: a
GRASP/DNS-SD proxy would need to be able to parse both encodings. And you
obviously want to use the maximum of CBOR and minimum or none of
application parsing.
[ [ "key1", "value1" ], ... [ "keyn", "valuen" ] ]
And given how DNS-SD also has the shortening option "key1" implying "key1=1",
this could also be
[ "key1", ... "keyn" ]
If all the keys only had values 0 or 1. Which is what Esko proposed.
