Ok, I'd go this way first, and if eventually we figure a common use case
for which it makes sense to tell the three things apart, we're always in
time to add tags specific to the various zeroconf protocols.

This is what I added:

  Tag: protocol::zeroconf
  Description: Zeroconf
   Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconfig), is a set of techniques that
   automatically creates a usable IP network without configuration or pecial
   servers.
   .
   This tag is used for packages that implement one or more of:
    * IPv4LL for choosing addresses
    * mDNS for name resolution
    * DNS-SD for service discovery
   .
