The IANA section of the dns-sd draft describes a process for registration of SRV service identifiers, but there is another draft doing the same thing: <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft- gudmundsson-dns-srv-iana-registry-00.txt>.

So which of these two drafts is meant to define the actual SRV service type registry?

That text has been in DNS-SD since the start, back in 2001 when it was called "Discovering Named Instances of Abstract Services using DNS" (draft-cheshire-dnsext-nias-00.txt).

I have absolutely no ego at stake over ownership of that issue -- I simply put it in because someone pointed out that RFC 2782 failed to define an IANA registry for its service names, and since DNS-SD/NIAS depends on SRV records and identifying service types by name instead of number, without an IANA registry the specification would be somewhat handicapped.
