Why do we need this?

Aren't there already enough "standards"? What's wrong in with Rendezvous?

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/jan/07rendezvous.html

"Rendezvous uses industry standard networking protocols and zero configuration technology to automatically discover and connect devices over any IP network, including Ethernet and 802.11 wireless networks. Apple? has submitted Rendezvous as an open standard as part of the ongoing IETF standardization process. By making the source code freely available, Apple has made it easy for developers to use Rendezvous technology in their network-enabled devices or software applications."

Oh, that's right, neither Intel or Microsoft will ever use a technology or standard they can't control. And I thought they were thinking of their customers - silly me.
