Re: SANEd and DNS-SD

Hi,

I've forwarded your mail to the sane mailing list. I'm not
sure who
should be the contact person, so it's probably the best to
discuss this
on the list.

regards

This looks good, we just need to decide on who should be the
contact
person for this.

Also, maybe we'd like to have a TXT record indicating the
protocol
version. This could come in handy once SANE 2 will be a
reality, along
with a new network protocol.

Future extensions could include SSL/TLS support, which could
be
another TXT record we could add later on.
