The essential difference is that this mechanism acts only when the presented domain name is an SRV name, one of whose targets is the same as the host's name. (As opposed to when the presented domain name has several A records with different addresses, where one address is the host's address.) The latter case is unlikely in systems that are configured according to our recommendations, but we should make sure that we make this choice consciously.
