According to the zeroconf charter, home networking and SOHO environments were a 
primary target of the zeroconf work.  I don't think the zeroconf and homenet 
scenarios are as divergent as you indicate, but I agree on letting things play 
out a bit more to determine the problem(s) we're trying to solve.
