Yes, and yes. http://www.opensoundcontrol.org/media/Rendezvous-OSC.pdf
spec is too strong a word. I think theres a working group looking at
it, but the binding of an OSC service into zeroconf is pretty aparent in
any case.

Some of the current freedesktop stuff requires an MDNS server, it was just
an example that its becming widly used on linux. FC3 runs an MDNS demon at
boot time for example.
Using an MDNS server means that you dont have to worry about implicitly or
explicitly starting an OSC discovery demon, or anything like that.
