Jabber servers can (and do) use SRV records, but (as far as I know) no client supports SRV lookups (yet?). This means that it's not yet possible to use one's email address as one's JID. Unfortunately. This is discussed fairly regularly both here and on jadmin, so check out the archives for other conversational details.
