While we are on the subject of SRV, port numbers etc:
Why not define SRV prefixes for POP3, IMAP4 and SUBMIT so that email

Actually...... there is, at least in draft form:

This document defines a new domain, _service., which can be used for
automatic service configuration and discovery. The associated
anycast prefixes can be used to configure a default DNS server, which
provides lookups for a local _service. domain but also acts as a
(caching) recursive DNS server, thus allowing DNS clients to use this
well-known address as their default DNS server as well as to use it
to find various well known services, thus avoiding manual
configuration.
