Well, the port space is pretty crowded these days. But IANA is not going 
to tell the *IETF* that they need the same ports as another protocol in 
case the IETF decides that it needs different ports. IANA's job 
description, for the protocol registries, is essentially: Register 
everything the IETF tells you, the way they tell you.

So for the moment, please assume that if we (as an IETF WG, followed by 
IETF last call) decide that we need new ports, IANA will try their best 
to give us new ports. The exact number may be treated as a detail.

Regards,   Martin.
