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.
DNS, DNS SRV, etc. are good and useful tools, but are not part of WS.
A document showing how to use DNS SRV with WS would be useful, but it's not
part of the core WS spec.

Ok, there you have a proposal:

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ibc-websocket-dns-srv-02

:)

Of course, the core WS spec should reference and *mandate* it, or
maybe not and instead a W3C specification should mandate it for
webbrowsers.
And in this case, the WS URI resolution section in core WS spec (DNS A
stuff) should be entirely removed.
