1). Register the new service names as aliases for ports 80/443 2). Register 2 new port numbers 3). Don't do any change in this area, wait for draft-ietf-tsvwg-iana-ports to get published.3 is the way to go. Naive suggestion: I think IANA will merge its port-numbers with Stuart Cheshire's list once draft-ietf-tsvwg-iana-ports is published. Why not add the SRV in that list until then?
SRVs are scattered around all over the place. Stuart's list is one place, several RFCs also define some. At this point it would only confuse matters to have it in two places. The authors of iana-ports are fully aware that they need to go through RFCs and Stuarts data to pre-populate the new registry.
