Existence proofs show that this is not *actually* so.

The existence proof is that many SRV names have defined TXT fields, including the following:
	ftp
	sftp-ssh
	ssh
	telnet
	http
	nfs (already defines path to the mount point)
	qttp (quicktime)
	webdav

Time has passed.  That ship has sailed.

Seems like that ship sails just fine.

There are bigger issues with widescale SRV use, but the use of associated TXT records isn't one of them as far as I've seen.
