Except it's not an "owner", because we have, in previous versions of  
the draft, taken pains to stress that no one except IANA "owns" a  
port or service name:

    It is important to note that ownership of registered port numbers  
and
    service names remains with IANA.

Can we get some agreement on the terminology and concepts here?
