Re: FW: Application for port-number (more tech)

[Bill Fenner <fenner@research.att.com>]

Fred,

  RFC 2782 does say that the service name is:

        The symbolic name of the desired service, as defined in Assigned
        Numbers [STD 2] or locally.

Given that the port-numbers registry is the replacement for the Assigned
Numbers RFC, the application seems reasonable given what the existing
standards say.  Perhaps Rendezvous is the first big reason that people
want to use SRV records for new services, but that doesn't mean that
Apple deserve to be told that they're wrong for believing the RFC.
