Yes from looking at the registry text on the two ranges this looks like 
it needs to be from the "well known port range" = 0..1023 where BGP 
itself is. I suggest that you put in a request for an allocation in that 
range and leave it to the transport area reviewers to tell us that we 
are wrong (and why).
