Sorry, no FUD here... this is based off of sniffing the traffic myself
and seeing piles of chatty queries...
I might be wrong... which would be great... and which is why I am
asking for comments. :)

I note that rendezvous, being a broadcast-based protocol, is chatty

in the long run by businesses and network engineers who (rightly so)
say it doesn't scale, and winds up bogging down LANs... (Witness the
death of netbeui, appletalk, etc) So what is different about
Rendezvous that will keep this from happening? Anything?
Well, given that you've already determined that "being a
broadcast-based protocol, [Rendezvous] is chatty as hell", I guess
nothing...
Unless of course, your assumption is wrong, and you're just spreading
FUD. From Stuart Cheshire's slides at the O'Reilly conference
http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/19/presentations.html
Rendezvous avoids chattiness through:
Aggressive Caching
Duplicate Suppression Section in Queries
Duplicate Answer Suppression
Duplicate Question Suppression
Exponential query backoff
Service announcement on startup
Exponential announcement backoff
