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.
