The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a transport
    protocol that provides bidirectional unicast connections of
    congestion-controlled unreliable datagrams.  DCCP is suitable for
    applications that transfer fairly large amounts of data, but can
    benefit from control over the tradeoff between timeliness and
    reliability.

I was surprised to see "The guidelines may be violated at IANA's discretion" in the discussion of ports, since IANA doesn't usually like discretion. Otherwise, though, this looks good to me.
