From http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html
The primary historical list of DNS SRV (RFC 2782
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2782.txt>) service type names for existing
protocols with well-known port numbers is given in the IANA list of
assigned port names and numbers
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers>. *However, that list
does not include any information about the defined DNS-SD TXT keys,
and that list includes only protocols that have fixed well-known port
numbers, which is unfortunate, because one of the big benefits of DNS
SRV is that it obviates the need for fixed port numbers in most cases.
*Sounds perfect for traversing firewalls doesn't it? We need to
perform modifications as suggested by Sim to divorce Jini from TCP.
That should read to abstract river from underlying transport protocols.
