Hi Mark,
I agree SRV is the obvious choice for a greenfield protocol but there is HTTP 
code sprinkled /everywhere/.  I can't imagine all those forgotten scripts, 
lonely IOT devices, and troubleshooting guides are going to be as easy to solve 
as updating chrome and firefox.
Whatever the solution, I feel it should be as transparent to the client as 
possible.  CNAME would fit this bill but the negative impact is largely unknown.
Perhaps defining a set of default protocols for SRV where it could simulate a 
CNAME-like response if https/http SRV records are found?
