I'm not suggesting it does, however sending mail to a host with only an 
A record will still be delivered if the host is configured to accept 
mail for the domain just like sip servers will accept the call if it's 
configured to accept the call...

In both the case of SRV and MX you still have a hostname which ends up 
with the connection, all MX was introduced for was to enable things to 
be split up *IF* the administrator wanted it to be, however using the 
domain as the hostname and pointing that to a server *WILL* work just 
like SIP urls will...

ENUM on the other hand will work just fine with either method, and my 
point about utilising enum in this fashion is that it will remove some 
confusion about what's happening and why it's happening.
