Right, a .well-known/ document would be the easier/faster win since that uses technology readily available in browsers without the need for any plugins, and it follows the recent standards trends (POSH, Webfinger, BrowserID/Persona, etc). So I want to push to get that sorted out and standardized first. That said, I do like the idea of using UPnP, so Peter if you have ideas on what that would look like, please share. I'm not familiar enough with how it works yet. Is it only intended for local network discovery? -- Lance
