Assuming Connman manages wlanx (AP or STA) as well as ethx.  I presume you 
have told Connman to ignore usbx  interfaces in /etc/connman/main.conf?

Hmm.  So, if udhcpd is managing the _static_ address on usb0, then counting 
on mDNS hostname discovery in no longer a requirement, just a nice to 
have?  For Windoze users, they call still access via static IP, other 
platforms can access via static IP via hostname.local.  With that said, if 
we do include mDNS for Windoze users, and start advertising hostname.local 
as the _preferred_ way of access, then _eventually_ we could rid ourselves 
of the static IP access method.

Also, this <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local> Wikipedia article on 
".local" is enlightening.  The article suggests that counting on 
hostname.local resolution may not scale well to Windoze environments.
