Title: Additional registries converted to XML and announcement of new registry for Service Names and Port Numbers

Hello,

The new registry says:

 System Ports are assigned by IETF
 process for standards-track protocols, as per [RFC1340].  User Ports
 are assigned by IANA using the "Expert Review" process, as per
 [RFC5226].  Dynamic Ports are not assigned.

I don't understand referencing RFC 1340 here.  You could better change this to "System Ports are assigned per "Standards Action" or "IESG Approval" process, as per [RFC5226]".  IESG Approval is assumed by the RFC-to-be, Section 8.1:

   o  Reserved numbers and names are generally only assigned by a
      Standards Action or an IESG Approval,

Also, the new registry doesn't seem to match the following rule:

   The new assignment procedure
   conserves resources by assigning a port number to an application for
   only those transport protocols (TCP, UDP, SCTP and/or DCCP) it
   actually uses.  The port number will be marked as Reserved - instead
   of Assigned - in the port number registries of the other transport
   protocols.  

Such entries as:

tcpmux               1         tcp    TCP Port Service Multiplexer [Mark_Lottor]                       [Mark_Lottor]
tcpmux               1         udp    TCP Port Service Multiplexer [Mark_Lottor]                       [Mark_Lottor]

should be:

tcpmux               1         tcp    TCP Port Service Multiplexer [Mark_Lottor]                       [Mark_Lottor]
tcpmux               1         udp    TCP Port Service Multiplexer [Mark_Lottor]                       [Mark_Lottor]
                     1        sctp    Reserved
                     1        dccp    Reserved

etc.

Attention:  We recently combined and converted the Service Names and Port Numbers registry in accordance with a recently approved document to become an RFC.  The legacy registries will be maintained for 2 more weeks so that anyone running scripts or gathering information can adjust/update what they need to.

Legacy URLs:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names/service-names.xml
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

NEW URL:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml

We are aware that the new registry is very slow to load in some browsers and we are working on resolving the speed issue.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Michelle Cotton
