That's fine, my point is that I was echoing the person who pointed out that if IANA
happens to hand a number < 1024 to someone they're going to need privs on many machines
to run the daemon.  Amusingly there are 2 experimental allocations in that range:

exp1            1021/tcp   #RFC3692-style Experiment 1 (*)    [RFC4727]
exp1            1021/udp   #RFC3692-style Experiment 1 (*)    [RFC4727]
exp2            1022/tcp   #RFC3692-style Experiment 2 (*)    [RFC4727]
exp2            1022/udp   #RFC3692-style Experiment 2 (*)    [RFC4727]


I tried to ask this before, but I think that mail got rejected.  What problem
are we trying to solve?

Best,
George
