That is a fatal defect of SRVINFO (and URI), because, if a domain

service specific domain name for each service.

Can and must are different things. Just because you can, does not mean
you should, must less that you must. Saying proposal is bad, because
you can do stupid things with it, is bizarre.

That's why I didn't assume 100 transport protocols.

But, it is stupid to forbid "https://example.com"; and force using
"https://www.example.com";, which means, in a long run, a domain
will support a lot of application protocols.

 I can have arbitrary
many A records for a name, does this mean A RR is bad as well? How is
SRV stopping you from creating stupidly large responses?
