Also note that _ldap._tcp.domain is of limited utility outside Windows-land, because Microsoft annexed it for Active Directory:

I don't see why.

On a site which has Windows and Active Directory, _ldap._tcp.domain is normally required to refer to Active Directory. Thus if such a site uses another LDAP server for their public LDAP data, they can't _ldap._tcp.domain for that.

Off course you should use distinct "domains" (better say dc-style naming contexts for MS AD and other OpenLDAP DSAs). But then it won't collide.
