Requiring SRV essentially allows things like hosted.im to work – using a SRV record for a specific subdomain is probably better than putting in new record types

Requiring SRV essentially allows things like hosted.im to work – using a SRV record for a specific subdomain is probably better than putting in new record types for every protocol cropping up (cf. MX). The fact that SRV records cannot be queried using standard libraries is likely more of a deficiency in the libraries rather than the protocol. That said, thanks a lot for git-annex & the assistant =)
