	I am sorry that I was not clear. I beleive that, even with a superset
	of the whois protocol, this is no longer whois as defined and should
	therefor apply for a new well-known port.   

	Local conversations with several others here at IETF do not support
	this view, so I expect that it (the view) will remain a minority 
	opinion.  Its something I thought worth mentioning in passing... :)

	Of course experimental stuff can use any port for testing.
	This, being a purely local matter can occur on any port the sysadmin
	chooses.
