"Aha, I see the source of confusion. I think the first sentence of Section 5.1 
is better written as follows:

   When the connecting application is an interactive client,
   construction of the reference identifier SHOULD be based on the
   source domain and service type provided by a human user (e.g. when
   specifying the server portion of the user's account name on the
   server or when explicitly configuring the client to connect to a
   particular host or URI as in [SIP-LOC]) and SHOULD NOT be based on a
   target domain derived from the user inputs in an automated fashion
   (e.g., a host name or domain name discovered through DNS resolution
   of the source domain).

We want to make sure that the reference identifier is based on the source 
(user-provided) domain, not the target (automatically-derived) domain, except 
perhaps in several well-defined and carefully-limited scenarios.

[BA] IMHO, this text is much clearer.  Thanks!
