I didn't know about the SRV service type before this, but yes that sounds like a
reasonable goal.  

I'm thinking it would be good to add a sentence about this case
(service names and URI scheme names SHOULD be the same, when there exists
a 1:1 correspondence) to draft-ietf-appsawg-uri-scheme-reg.  Does that
sound reasonable?
