Currently we implement wide-area DNS-SD only read-only (i.e. no publishing). What is missing is the implementation of DNS Update and DNS-LLQ. Since a couple of aeons Federico Lucifredi claims that he has been working on that. I haven't seen a single line of code however, hence I would assume that the project of adding proper wide-area support to Avahi is up for grabs... Or, Federico, is there any chance we'll see a patch soon?
