I understand that's your perspective, which is entirely understandable given what cisco devices do by default, but I don't think it's necessarily the case that 1645/1646 are universally prevalent (at least, claims that it is ought to be balanced with some balanced, real-world observation). I take your point that juniper devices accommodate the pre-standard ports as well as the IANA-assigned ones. There are more vendors in the world than just C and J, however.

I think pointing out that 1645/1646 are also used is perfectly valid, for the reasons of operational reality that you mention, but that the examples should use 1812/1813.
