That is a fatal defect of SRVINFO (and URI), because, if a domain
support 100 services with 2 transport protocols, there are 200
RRs, all of which must be replied for a single query, which is
unacceptably inefficient, which is why it is necessary to use a
service specific domain name for each service.

Not URI as the owner for the URI is prefixed with the service and protocol.

The NAPTR do have a RRSet that blows up in size when you have multiple services 
etc.

NAPTR have a design where a domain name announces what services it can handle.

URI have a design where you look up what you want given you already know what 
service you are after.

This is why for example I personally think NAPTR is broken for ENUM and URI 
would have been better. And due to the higher efficiency why I think URI is 
better than "HTTP redirect via well-known-url".
