While I was reviewing RFC 7788 because of the .home issue, I ran some other text that I think needs to be clarified.

Section 7.4 refers to a "Multicast DNS Proxy", with a citation of RFC 6762.  The problem here is that RFC 6762 does not provide a definition of "Multicast DNS Proxy Servers" (coincidentally, in section 7.4 of RFC 6762).  Personally, I believe that RFC 6762 is referring to the "Bonjour Sleep Proxy" service [http://multicastdns.org].  If that understanding is correct, then RFC 7788 should not be mandating the deployment and operation of "mDNS proxy" at all.

If RFC 7788 is referring to some other "mDNS proxy server", e.g., the hybrid proxy service described in draft-ietf-dnssd-hybrid-03, then RFC 7788 should explicitly reference that other proxy service, presumably with a pointer to some defining RFC.
