Actually our NSNetServices implementation should be complete with
respect to Cocoa (unless they did add stuff in 10.6, I didn't check
that) and also includes substantial extensions. We support, for example,
publishing arbitrary records through NSNetService. On OS X, you need to
resort to the low-level mDNSResponder API to achieve the same thing.
