You might also want to take a look at [1] which suggests that when  
doing SRV lookups for URLs they should be done regardless of whether  
or not a port number is present (which then eliminates the RFC 3986  
issue the current SRV lookup code has).  It's only a draft (and  
expired now and looks like it received a rather chilly reception from  
some), but I haven't noticed anything else that addresses what the  
patch code is trying to do.  The thread at [2] is related to what the  
patch is trying to do.
