Interesting. I'm confused. I thought only the latest app that attempted to
register would get the collision, and then it should append a count to the
end of the name and try again.

If an app successfully registers a service, then gets a collision 30 minutes
later, what is it supposed to do? Can't it ignore it?

If both apps get notified of the collision, who has the service at that
point? That is, if someone does a resolve, whose address will they get?

Thanks.
