That's a poor assumption. As I think we've mentioned several times
recently, CSV records are designed to identify client hosts, not
domains, and a normal setup would be to have a CSV record per mail
client.
Nevertheless hosts are multi-homed, and have multiple names. It's not
entirely insane to want to be able to use multiple SRV records for that
reason.
Wouldn't it be simpler to have just one SRV record, but multiple A records
for that hostname? Then CSV could put a safe upper limit on the number of
A records, well within any limitations of non-compliant DNS servers.
The idea is to get most of the benefit of efficient DNS caching, while
staying close to the original idea of one record per client.
