Me too. :) The chief objection to mDNS (and other p2p types of dns services) is the possibility of making it easier to hijack "real" websites. I do not object (off hand) to a mechanism to define additional hostnames to announce other than your own, but I think that we should do something like unconditionally append .local to them to make sure that we're not creating a bigger problem than we're solving.
To do so, the hijacker would have to get onto your local link. For hardwired LANs, that shouldn't be a major issue. (If they're on your LAN, you're already screwed.) It's a much bigger problem for WiFi; especially when using a public access point.
