What I think that you are missing is that not only does the SRV record define the port, but it defines the server hostname/ip. So IF you wanted to, you could host your wave server on a totally different domain. _xmpp-server._tcp.wave.microcomaustralia.com.au SRV record 5 0 5269 chat.some-other-domain. <http://chat.microcomaustralia.com.au/>tld
So now people can still send waves to [email protected], but those waves are actually sent to the chat.some-other-domain.tld server. In the above instance, you WOULDN'T need the wave.microcomaustralia.com.au A record, because it's never used as an actual domain name. the chat.some-other-domain.tld A record would have to exist somewhere though.
