Comment 9 for bug 308181

Some corrections to the previous remarks:
 - Browsing is improved: you'd like the web robust like email? SRV do that!
 - Goal of supporting SRV records is support load balanced & backed-up servers.
 - RFC 2052 is superseded by RFC 2782
 - Dealing with SRV records does not take more time, it uses one DNS lookup
 - People are working on library support to automate SRV records
 - Targeting it at v1.0 seems smart; being able to claim robustness is nice ;-)
