It is my opinion that name resolution (however done) is outside the purview of WS. It may be handled in any number of ways by the client, and must happen *before* WS establishes it's TCP connection and begins handshaking.

The URI scheme is defined here, and absolutely must explain whether it's a host (for direct address lookup), or a domain (for SRV).

It's proven impossible, despite effort, to retrofit SRV onto HTTP; there is no way it'll be possible to retrofit onto WS.
