[avahi] [ANNOUNCE] mod_dnssd 0.6

[Robin Perkins]

The trailing dot exists in *every* domain name, just nobody bothers to  
write it in web urls or email address' because.....I guess everyone  
just assumes its there. DNS needs it however (I don't really know why,  
it just does, I guess domains can't hide their true identity in this  
space) and this is reflected in the response you are seeing in Safari.
