I do not understand why the document prohibits the use of DNS-SD to discover NFSv4 services. If I don't have a DNS server in my home network and I want to access information from a NFSv4 capable server, it should work, no?

The NFS version 4 protocol provides a natural way for a collection of NFS file servers to collaborate in providing an organization-wide file name space. I love "natural." Is that just using herbal essence, or do you also use crystals? --- Section 3 might be a bit more definitive. No need to "propose" things in a published RFC.

I agree with the concerns regarding the SRV record and the mount points.

I'm moving my previous discuss point to a comment based on the most recent revision. The original discuss text was: >It's unusual to standardize a directory name in a host's filesystem namespace (see section 4.1). Has the IETF done this >before? Is it the right organization to establish this kind of convention? The change to the text was to remove 2119 keywords from section 4.1, but the text still reads as if it is trying to establish a standard behavior, not suggest a convention (and the edit has a grammar bug). Please consider s/is be used/could be used/. I support Peter's discuss.
