Ok, there you have a proposal:

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ibc-websocket-dns-srv-02

:)

Of course, the core WS spec should reference and *mandate* it, or
maybe not and instead a W3C specification should mandate it for
webbrowsers.
And in this case, the WS URI resolution section in core WS spec (DNS A
stuff) should be entirely removed.
