Once you step off the cliff of altering the protocols to suit the
limitations, it's probably hard to know where to stop.  :->

I don't necessarily; I was just trying to clarify the proposal.
Fortunately, he can call himself "jacksmith.local" with no loss of
information.

The general multicast issue, though, seems like a hazardous one.  If
it's a walled garden (where users just "can't" send multicast), then
you're obviously free to do anything you like.  You don't even need to
use IP.  If it's not such a deployment, then it seems to me that
outlawing multicast is a near impossible task and trying to modify
protocols to avoid it is a losing proposition.
