I can probably implement
org.eclipse.ecf.internal.osgi.services.discovery.DiscoveredServiceNotificationImpl.getFilters()
and
org.eclipse.ecf.internal.osgi.services.discovery.DiscoveredServiceNotificationImpl.getInterfaces()
over the next couple of days.

@Thomas the recent interface updates break SEN's contribution. Do you
intent on updating it?

IMO we should opt for OSGi services instead of EP. Not just because EP
don't support versioning, but also because most users of ECF RFC 119
will probably be more familiar with services rather then EPs.

It would be great if somebody would help implementing the dynamic dns
update portion of the new DNS-SD based discovery provider. With that
done we can easily add wide area discovery with SLP [1]. A contribution
for [2] would be highly appreciated too.
