Perhaps the failure of Realnames is due to the business model and
implementation not the fact that the solution was proprietary.

Just a thought.

Perhaps VGRS will think twice about relying on proprietary systems to act as
the foundation for MDNS and similar initiatives.  Does anyone have any
further information concerning how/if this will effect the MDNS initiative?
