I'm hedging my bets and advertising the A record, if at a later date I 
introduce an SRV record the A record will still be valid, and will be 
identical to the current one, oh look hasn't broken...

In any case if you want to receive calls my advice still stands, use an 
A record, if you want to be compliant to standards and get no calls only 
use a SRV... I believe SER and I know the grandstream BT 101's have SRV 
off by default as well...

So while you are arguing the merits endlessly of SRV records, those that 
took 5 seconds to setup and publish an A record were getting calls...

As I said, if I have a mail server on the A record of a domain and it's 
set to accept mail it will still work, regardless of anything else, same 
with SIP URLs...
