[discovery-api]possible problem with using _services._dns-sd._udp. query

Dear all

I have found this text in an Apple FAQ:
"Queries for "_services._dns-sd._udp.local." behave somewhat differently 
than standard mDNS queries. Normal mDNS long-lived queries will return 
ADD/REMOVE events as records are registered and deregistered, however, a 
service type enumeration meta-query will not be told about REMOVE events 
when a service is deregistered. Otherwise, the meta-query behaves 
identically to a standard mDNS query. It will receive REMOVE events when 
a network interface is disabled or if the PTR record expires from the 
cache naturally."

The text later admits it is a non-standard behaviour, but claims it 
optimizes the network resources.

If this behaviour is widespread, then the serviceAvailable part of NSD 
cannot be implemented when using this type of meta-query.
Is it not better then to only use standard queries ?
Best regards
JC
