That would involve changing the DNS protocol so that all the world's
name servers followed SRV records instead of NS records. This isn't
going to happen because there are zillions of old name servers that
don't even understand SRV records. And if you consider how often
DNS admins screw up their NS records, imagine the hassles there will
be if the more complex SRV records were use instead. Or as well as.
