The Avahi Walk of Fame lists many open-source applications that work with Zeroconf.

Avahi can browse services published on wide-area networks (WANs), by setting certain unicast DNS records for the domain.

Benjamin Sherman has an article about publishing services with Avahi.

Distributions' resource pages

IPv6

To enable Avahi for IPv6:

Testing ping: if you're using link-local IPv6 addresses and not global ones, you need to use the -I option to specify outgoing interface w/ ping:

ping -I wlan0 router.local

Publishing new addresses

Aliases

avahi-alias.py (Python 2-only) publishes new address in a command-line tool via D-Bus. The avahi-aliases project does the same, but you can do so from /etc/avahi/aliases.d/.
