/if/ you specify the value, that is.  If you leave out the entire

<UDN>
<MediaRenderer>whatever-uuid-value</MediaRenderer>
</UDN>

section, the UPnP code will automatically generate a UDN for you (and 
you won't have to worry about making sure to fix the value every time 
you copy a config.xml for another mythfrontend).

So, at this point, I recommend just leaving it out.  As a matter of 
fact, I'll remove the code from the Perl bindings that's putting it in.

Thanks for motivating me to look into this and to think it all through.
