It is my opinion that name resolution (however done) is outside the purview

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.
In my capacity of a WG participant:
+1
