Re: [dnssd] Setting device friendly names

Can you talk more about this UPnP thing?   Bear in mind that UPnP is not a
standard, AFAIK, although its follow-on, PCP, is.   I don't know that PCP
has this feature.

The fact that some devices have UIs that users may or may not be able to
find does not mean that there needn't be a standard way to do it.   Maybe
we don't need it, but if we don't, that's not the reason.
