Full ack.

That's something most people overlook / ignore when naively asking for
support of SRV RRs: There's no cryptographic binding between a
configured name and the public key of the TLS server. (I see this
discussion quite often in the LDAP world.)

An RFC could specify such a name binding, e.g. by specifying a
subjectAltName form based on URLs (GeneralName.uniformResourceIdentifier).

But even if such an RFC exists public CAs would have to check the
validity of such a name / URL before issuing a TLS server cert. Which
would be another can-of-worms...

Ciao, Michael.
