And, I'm not sure these are within the scope of homenet, but to explicitly
state the design principles I'm trying to support with the previous
recommendations:
- Applications wanting to cache information about discovered devices
should use the most globally-reachable name available for each device.
In other words, if it has a FQDN and a local-only name, cache the FQDN.
- When presenting cached information about devices, applications should
only display local-only domain names if they were cached from the
current local network.
- When possible, preference should be given to the use of human-readable,
human-memorable, and ideally human-selected names.
