The combination of --daemon with --server currently indicates that rsync
is running as a daemon over a remote shell, and this causes the daemon
to use a different default for finding the rsyncd.conf file.  So, an
[x]inetd setup could be changed to both specify --server and --config-file
and I believe (without checking it) that it should work fine.  That
might not be too onerous of an incompatibility in a new version, but I'm
not sure if I like the idea yet or not.
