Speaking from experience, SLP is painful without a DA, and you need an accessible DA on every network segment.

AFAIK, SLP does not solve the multiple-network problem.

Well, I think the goal is to come up with a solution to the multiple-network problem that scales while retaining dynamic registration/advertising of services.  The focus may be on mDNS and DNS-SD (because that drove the petition to fix things...) but I suspect that solutions for DNS-SD and mDNS would also work for extending SLP.
