For background, there are a couple of reasonable ways a friendly display name can be passed through mDNS: 1. Via the instance name in the DNS SRV record advertised by a service instance. The spec [1] says that this must be up to 63 Net-Unicode characters, but doesn't have any place to pass locale information that might be used to customize the display of the name. 2. Via a DNS-TXT record [2]. The TXT record is a list of key=value strings up to 255 bytes in length. However it is completely up to the implementation how to populate this record. An implementation could use one string to pass the name (as unicode) and another string to pass the locale. What I propose is implementation guidance along the lines of @tidoust: * That the receiving user agent advertise the locale (language, direction) to be used to interpret the display name. * That the controlling user agent take that into consideration when rendering that name, when available.
