IMO this is also out of scope for this document. This doc is intended to 
be clearly focused on procedural issues:

     - unifying the registries
     - updating the procedures

Although we mention some principles of allocation, that discussion 
doesn't change anything; the principles are not binding, and they're 
just generally conservative and exceptions will obviously occur.

The idea of deprecating the separate meaning and handling of the system 
ports belongs in a separate proposal, and we're not advocating that at 
this time.

It's also worth noting that there is a team working on this doc that 
extends beyond the author list, and that they have been tracking the doc 
in detail as well.
