requiring HTTP on both sides.

"in this case" as in the draft under discussion? If so, I don't don't understand your position. The protocols/services being referenced by the draft are HTTP protocols, so it is always going to be SRV-followed-by-HTTP. What is more, simply getting a generic host/path is not sufficient for client configuration - additional steps are required to find the principal resource of the user for whom the client is setting up an "account" (as described in the draft).
