need for us to spell out "Scalable
DNS-SD" everywhere.  SSD, to the extent that it satisfies the requirements

topologically-independent zones if s/he so chooses.
In the event the end user a) chooses not to use the mechanism (Zero
Configuration mode) and b) there
are multiple zones, my opinion is that these will almost certainly be
topologically-dependent.
