   I like the idea of having a "port assignment service" that would
map a very large space of names into port numbers for a particular
host, but I would like to see "mature" protocols that have gotten to
the stage of being documented in RFCs be assigned ports, thus freeing
them from the extra connection overhead.  Then it would be easy for
protocol developers to experiment, and to make quick hacks, but the
most used protocols would not be affected.
