Well, "generic URIs" (or at least a subset of such URIs that include
non-null paths) are how web services are defined to work.
First of all, any URI specifying a port number for an
object should also specify a network (IP) address and
is a URL.
URIs not specifying port numbers for objects are, by
nature, port independent and we don't need any
additional mechanism for the port independence.
Then, what's wrong with SRV to be used for those URLs
having authority section resulting in port
independence?
