My proposal:

1. SVCB  ->  SRVLOC

    Service location, less cryptic than SVCB, and manifestly a
    generalization of SRV.

2. HTTPSSVC  ->  HTTPLOC

    HTTP location, manifestly a variant of the generic service location,
    with HTTP in the name.

Definitely agree on the need for a single lexeme, these names end up as
enum names in various programming languages.

Unfortunately these are similar to the fun but rarely-used LOC record:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1876

And also similar to the even less-frequently used NIMLOC record (which seems to be from a routing architecture that hasn't been worked on in 20 years):

http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/nimrod/dns.txt

Not necessarily a complete veto, but definitely a mark against SRVLOC/HTTPLOC, I think.

Cheers,
