I'm trying not to consider the server use case - partly because I don't
believe that zeroconf should be in the default server install and partly
because of what I said about server administration in my previous mail ;)

Either or both of these reasons make it reasonable to expect a server admin
to take care of this in a different way to a desktop user, but I take your
point that some zeroconf users aren't just working as clients.

Providing it's fairly easily discoverable that that's where they need to go
to make their service available (the notification thing could tell a user
to check it after they install a new service in the same way it tells them
to restart firefox)
