We already have a service announcement API, or leftovers of it, in the VLC 
core. It was not exactly a great success. I think the take-away is that the 
advertised service types and the advertisement protocols are too tightly 
coupled to make a generic API.

You might be able to make a generic Bonjour API, but I don't think we should 
again try and fail to make a really generic API.

The HTTP server is of course dual-stack, almost from the beginning. But I 
don't think you want to promote the current HTTP interface and remote control 
interfaces anyway. They are both ridiculously insecure and unreliable/
unstable.
