Why not just have xmpp.bob.com point at multiple A records, for multiple servers? After all, a single name in DNS can return more than one A record.
Well, yes, but that's not actually quite the same statement. SRV records request the client balance connections to the SRV targets, but say nothing about multihomed hosts.
(If we're being pedantic, a single name can only have one A record, but that record may have more than one RR).
