I don't like that idea much... a "badly configured device" today may be
a "device with default config" tomorrow.
You say that escaping the string is not a valid solution, due to the DNS label
size limit. But, how about this?:
if (the label is not a valid UTF8 string)
{
escape the invalid characters
if (new lenght of the DNS label < 255)
Return the escaped label
else
Ignore this label, log a warning into syslog
}
This way, Avahi should work with *most* badly configured devices (as people
don't usually use up 256 characters for a device name); and devices
with "bad" names, that are too long to be sanitized, will be just ignored.
Just an idea...
