I think a simpler version of this XEP would just be:

When you have domains/ports to connect to with the same priority, use the algorithm defined in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8305 to connect to them.

Re-explaining what is already defined in the SRV and XMPP RFCs is rather confusing, I kept looking for something different and couldn't find it. Additionally it implies this doesn't apply to all of the other connection methods XMPP uses, XEP-0156 and XEP-0368 for starters, being too specific is harmful here.
