My stock desktop FC4 has a chain in it to allow UDP on 224.0.0.251 port 5353. Any idea what that is for?

The mDNSResponder service, providing multicast DNS which is used by MACs for zeroconf service discovery aka rendezvous. If you don't need rendezvous then you don't need the iptables rule, nor the mDNSResponder and nifd services.
