I have together with Olaf Kolkman suggested a new RR type that I call URI that

few times...but maybe that has been wrong. Maybe Apps Area should have been
notified about the work a bit more...
Patrik and Olaf's proposal has some big advantages over two-step SRV searching.
To implementers, there will be just one API for many services; now that "web
browsers" are the universal application, this could be a big win. It is also
only one DNS lookup instead of a DNS request followed by a HTTP PROPFIND. It
should be seriously considered (and they should get a new draft out...) instead
of a hodgepodge of scheme-specific methods.
