Neither your example "_null._random.example.com" nor Mark's
example "_foo._tcp.bar.example.com" is applicable to the case
of "protocols used at the domain are http and https only",
because you are assuming protocols "null" or "foo" is used
at the domain.

That's fine.

Lazy users do not mind if they advertise non existent services.

Moreover, your statement has nothing to do with Mark's unfounded

	It breaks *all* protocols that use SRV.
