Sounds intriguing.  If you want to do the wifi service discovery on <
android-16, there is jmdns.  We had problems with the Android service
discovery stuff when we added it to FDroid.  It would randomly hang and things
like that.  jmdns seemed more reliable, but perhaps the Android SD stuff is
somehow integrated into WiFi-Direct in a way that jmdns is not.
