OK, I also used the DNS client library in Python once for SRV record
lookups, and this too returned TTLs.
Independently of Mark (who beat me to the punch with a more foreceful
objection), I was also wondering whether perhaps you're misremembering
the issue. Without DANE, browsers have no need for explicit DNS
lookups, they just lookup network address information via getaddrinfo()
and friends. So perhaps the issue you had in mind was that
getaddrinfo() returns no TTLs and no validation status. This is
a well known limitation.
Once applications are doing explicit DNS lookups (SRV, TLSA, ...)
perhaps TTLs are generally available along with the RRDATA.
