In *theory*, yes. But apparently you didn't see this part of Barry's 
response: "But until browsers start using them, no one bothers to create 
them for their WWW services"

No known browsers -- certainly not the "big" ones like IE, Firefox, etc. 
-- use SRV records, so that option is basically unavailable to you for 
the foreseeable future.
