While I very much agree that any protocol/service that insists on pwning your domain name in the DNS *deserves* the eternal punishment of having to support a personal fix for their hubris (a la SMTP and MX RRs), I do *not* agree that SRVs are "required" to run a webserver today. Through three different web design outfits and their favorite hosters now, I have successfully upheld that binect.de points to an IP *we* control and run a HTTP+HTTPS redirector to www.binect.de (and whatever other stuff we want to be available as "binect.de") on. (Having your content appear under a *single* FQDN is actually good for your SEO.) Also, the range of "web browsers" is a tad too large - from FF, Edge and the like to Konqueror to elinks and lynx to cURL and wget to debugging with plain "telnet" or "openssl s_client" - to *consistently* obey SRV RRs anytime soon.
