I've been in more than a few design agencies that use Mac OS X machines as their server computers for this, that, or the other thing. As a result, most of these services are accessible via Bonjour (since few of these companies set up proper DNS…). So the point is not to force a remote machine into a local namespace, but rather to accommodate remote machines with Bonjour-style names, which are a) not always remote and b) typically use '.local' as their TLD anyway.
