Shouldn't they be registered with IANA? I would have hoped they would be
defined in the ICP standards. Its useful to know what port a proxy is
running on, because of e.g. neighbors needing to know not just the host
name, but the ports as well. If it were standardised, (although nothing more
than a default) life would be nicer.
I would have thought the Harvest 2.0 team would have done something about
it. Hmm...
