(Whiteboard: [necko-would-take]) 

The current fallback JS implementation of an mDNS responder only responds to PTR requests, and sends the SRV, A, and TXT records in the AR section of the response.

A proper implementation should be able to respond independently to specific SRV, A, and TXT requests independently.

Namely, answering the SRV request should include the SRV response in the AN section, and A and TXT records in the AR section.  Answering the A and TXT requests should include the corresponding responses in the AN section with an empty AR section.
