[dccp] port numbers and DCCP

[Sally Floyd <floyd at icir.org>]

Colin reported last week at IETF that the main DCCP internet-draft
didn't make any assignments about port numbers.  RFC 2969
says the following, for SCTP:

   This protocol will require port reservation like TCP for the use of
   "well known" servers within the Internet.  All current TCP ports
   shall be automatically reserved in the SCTP port address space.  New
   requests should follow IANA's current mechanisms for TCP.

Our suggestion is that we will add this language to the DCCP spec 
when the draft reaches AUTH48, the authors' 48 hours just before
the document is issued as an RFC.  And in this way all TCP ports
will automatically be reserved in the DCCP port address space as
DCCP ports also, without the need for modifying the IANA registry.

Does this seem fine to everyone?
