While I was reviewing RFC 7788 because of the .home issue, I ran some other 
text that I think needs to be clarified.

Section 7.4 refers to a "Multicast DNS Proxy", with a citation of RFC 6762.  
The problem here is that RFC 6762 does not provide a definition of "Multicast 
DNS Proxy Servers" (coincidentally, in section 7.4 of RFC 6762).  Personally, I 
believe that RFC 6762 is referring to the "Bonjour Sleep Proxy" service 
[http://multicastdns.org].  If that understanding is correct, then RFC 7788 
should not be mandating the deployment and operation of "mDNS proxy" at all.

If RFC 7788 is referring to some other "mDNS proxy server", e.g., the hybrid 
proxy service described in draft-ietf-dnssd-hybrid-03, then RFC 7788 should 
explicitly reference that other proxy service, presumably with a pointer to 
some defining RFC.
