It looks like you can use Carbon functions to use Rendezvous in OS X

AutoDiscovery as they did; we have the cross-platform functionality
now, not that I use it, and I'd imagine that it would be possible to
rewrite it to use Rendezvous if they want.
Actually, I wasn't arguing that the initial approach was wrong, though
it may have sounded that way. Rather, I was arguing that dismissing
Rendezvous as a technology to find devices with little practical use
was unfortunate. I understand that RS has priorities and works in a
cross-platform world, and that reality may result in certain business
decisions being made. I just want to make sure that any future
decisions are not based on a poor understanding of a particular
features usefulness. I don't even mind (terribly) is RS never
implements Rendezvous. I just want it to be for the right reasons. And
perhaps they are - the post by Joe was a quick message to the list and
probably shouldn't be taken as canon.
