Daniel,

SRV records suck just as badly as A records for round robin load balancing, 
intelligent routing and the like. It's just DNS.

SRV could be very useful if I have a fat pipe without a full transparent 
redundancy. Any time you fail the first connection, you will lose some 
percentage of your clients, but people can use the fat pipe when its there 
and use one or more slower pipes in the case of a failure. HTTP based file 
downloads could benefit from this as well.

Given the immediacy of web access, it is less useful for this then for 
batch functions such as mail. That doesn't make it useless, especially 
seeing how widely HTTP is now being used.
