That was what I remebered. If this indeed means that there will not
be any conflicting usage in the future (which the above text doesn't
explicitly say) then I think we at least don't have the problem
of getservbyport() returning different results for SCTP and TCP.

Don't know how significant the problem is that a given port (e.g., 80)
might not be defined for SCTP, even though the port number is
reserved, so that getservbyport() for SCTP should
fail and getservbyport() for TCP would return a service string.
