Order. srvsearch follows the SRV algorithm and always return
xmpp-server.l.google.com first (since it has a better priority). host
does not (it just uses the order of the records sent by the name
server, round-robin with BIND).

So you can use it that way:

% my-xmpp-client -h $(echo _jabber._tcp.google.com | srvsearch | head -1)

which is not possible with host.
