We've been discussing this in the Transport area lately.
DNS SRVs are defined in RFC 2782 as I have described. Additional info is
passed in TXT records for current DNS SRVs.
I.e. what I have proposed is what is both current spec and current widespread
practice.
Before proposing a change (which would need to happen before we would use it
in a new spec anyway), is there something the current syntax (and use of TXTs
for additional info) cannot do that you want?
Why use SRV records at all if you also need TXT records to convey part of the
information needed by apps (and thus, have to do multiple queries for the same
level of information)? Why not just encode all of the information in TXT
records?
