comment 56 says "hat is the sense in implementing this when no major sites are offering such records? Fit for the future?"

Well SRV records are clearly a good idea, they are a more generic version of the MX record applying to mail receipt. The problem is chicken and egg ... you cant expect any sites to support when the browsers dont support it. So if we start with firefox supporting SRV, then sites will have an interest to provide SRV records, and sites will work more reliably for browsers supporting SRV records, and then IE will want to add SRV record support to catchup with firefox.
