There are two separate issues:

- - previous assignments that don't follow the proposed recommendations
	- as noted, there's no goal to fix that

- - 'squatting', or use of ports without registering through IANA
	- IMO, these should not be ignored, but clearly cannot be
	treated as equivalent to 'self assigned'

	i.e., IMO, IANA should list these as "unauthorized use",
	as a service to the community to help those using those
	ports as assigned.

I would expect the draft might address both issues.
