Maoke,
Thanks for the discussion (valuable a usual).

Actually, enterprise are in scope (last sentence of the ISP definition).
The point that enterprise environments may have specific use cases is therefore 
valuable.

To keep nibble alignment, and avoid unnecessary flexibility, while permitting 
some assignment(s) of ports 0-1023, would a rule parameter with the following 
two values cover your point? 
- Full fairness  (=> offset = 4)
- WKPs assignable to one CE per address (=> offset = 0)

While I understand the previous point, I don't get this one:  MaxPsid could 
AFAIK work as well with rule-dependent offsets.
This comment is just in view of keeping common understanding of issues but, 
since MaxPsid is now out of scope, I will have no problem if we leave the 
subject for the time being.
