That text has been in DNS-SD since the start, back in 2001 when it  
was called "Discovering Named Instances of Abstract Services using  
DNS" (draft-cheshire-dnsext-nias-00.txt).

I have absolutely no ego at stake over ownership of that issue -- I  
simply put it in because someone pointed out that RFC 2782 failed to  
define an IANA registry for its service names, and since DNS-SD/NIAS  
depends on SRV records and identifying service types by name instead  
of number, without an IANA registry the specification would be  
somewhat handicapped.
