Sure. I didn't say anywhere that I am such a fan of adding a DNS-SD abstraction layer, just because I love abstraction layers. I guess Davyd's work makes some sense, not just because it would allow a certain degree of abstraction but because it makes use of all those nifty glib primitives (gobject, signals) which avahi doesn't offer.
