Thanks for the input. In constrained-join-proxy-06 both discovery types are 
mentioned in section 5.1 and the sentence on DNS-SD actually refers to service 
discovery in general (of either a Join Proxy or a Registrar's join-port for JPY 
protocol).
So an implementation could still decide to only allow discovery of the 
Registrar's join-port and not discovery of the Join Proxy (unprotected/"DULL" 
side).

Maybe good to know why mDNS/DNS-SD discovery is a bad idea on the unprotected 
side?
Since we also do e.g. CoAP discovery on the unprotected side. (Is that a bad 
idea as well?)

Regards
Esko

Yes. Probably that merits a MUST NOT in the Security Considerations of
draft-eckert-anima-grasp-dnssd.
