I'm not sure I understand this (Bonjour _is_ for discovery, yet this
use of it isn't?) but it seems that this is a quirk of Apple's
implementation rather than a BibDesk issue.
It also seems like BibDesk is the only application I have that uses
Distributed Objects at all, as I haven't seen those NSSocketPort
Bonjour advertisements otherwise.
