Re: Universal service discovery framework?

This is exactly my plan for future. However, I still don't know how to deal with differences in service types between SLP and DNS-SD. SLP uses abstract-type:protocol (where abstract-type is application specific, for example 'drivers' and protocol is high-level protocol like http, ftp, etc.).
DNS-SD uses [_subtype]._type._protocol where protocol can be UDP or TCP, type is application-specific protocol like rfb, http, ftp, etc. Subtype adds extra info (for example _anon._ftp._tcp). So what I need is kind of abstract naming that can be translated into DNS-SD and SLP (and possibly others) forms.
