MDNS names are _not_ domain names, sorry. They look like domain names, admittedly, but they're names in a different protocol. The trick of mDNS is to make a protocol that looks almost exactly like DNS to a user but that works differently under the hood. That's a trick, however, and it depends on a separate name space. The elephant in dnssd WG's room -- and the very careful scoping of dnssd's charter -- is exactly this issue; it's why internationalization in the DNS using IDNA and internationalization in mDNS is not interoperable.
