Seems quite reasonable to me.

An anecdotal description of what I think ZeroConf should
achieve is this:

        Make IP-based networks as easy to install/use as
        the traditional AppleTalk/EtherTalk networks have 
        long been with the Apple Macintosh systems.

So I'd rule out any uncommon h/w or s/w configuration.  Since 
the vast majority of desktop and laptop systems are single interface,
that seems to be a quite reasonable scope limit for this WG.
