Yes, of course.

Feel free to post a wishlist bug and request this. Or even better post
a patch, since just posting the bug is no guarantee at all that this
will ever show up!  (Please note that this probably not an easy change
to Avahi, but of course I encourage everyone to hack on an Avahi and
would gladly merge any patches which implement this -- as long as they
have reasonable quality.)

This is Free Software after all! Patches always welcome!
