The problem is not the validity of the use case itself but if there are  
other usecases that overlap with it and if it should be more "verbose".
Anyway I'm fine to approve it and resolve any overlap later on.

I would propose though some changes to make it follow a little bit more  
the approved template [1]:
- incorporate the "implementation" section in the description
- remove any reference to UPnP from the implementation section (since we  
will probably have a separate contribution on this topic)
- add the need/justification section from the template, in particular try  
to answer the questions:
* Why were you not able to use only existing standards to accomplish this?
* What might you suggest could be standardized?
