So are you saying I do or don't need the following entries?

_jabber._tcp.wave.microcomaustralia.com.au has SRV record 5 0 5269 
chat.microcomaustralia.com.au.
_xmpp-server._tcp.wave.microcomaustralia.com.au has SRV record 5 0 5269 
chat.microcomaustralia.com.au.
_xmpp-client._tcp.wave.microcomaustralia.com.au has SRV record 5 0 5222 
chat.microcomaustralia.com.au.

My assumption previously was that these are the format of

_jabber._tcp.$domain
_xmpp-server._tcp.$domain
_xmpp-client._tcp.$domain

where domain is microcomaustralia.com.au, and are used for looking up the
server name if the server name has not been configured and only the domain name
is given. They are not used if you give the client the FQDN of the server.

As such, my assumption would be that when wave.microcomaustralia.com.au is
given, that is the fully qualified name of the name, not the domain, and as
such the above DNS entries should not be required.

Maybe I should read that draft RFC. Will do so now.
