Through Opera Unite, Opera has a considerable interest in the  
discoverability of local web services (being agnostic with regards to the  
definition of "local", and the actual underlying implementation, whether  
that is called UPnP, m-DNS, or something entirely different).

At Opera, we already have (experimental) running code and DOM interfaces  
for such local service discovery. This spec is not in conflict with the  
WARP specification, nor does it have dependencies on it.  We would be  
willing to, given some preparation, provide this as input for a new  
working item.
