This document has been reviewed as part of the transport area review team's
ongoing effort to review key IETF documents. These comments were written
primarily for the transport area directors, but are copied to the document's
authors and WG to allow them to address any issues raised and also to the IETF
discussion list for information.

When done at the time of IETF Last Call, the authors should consider this
review as part of the last-call comments they receive. Please always CC

I have only found the following three nits:

1. The abstract mentions that port number assignments that not stood the
   test of time are removed. However, the introduction mentions that also
   port number assignments are removed for which the protocols do not
   apply (like SSH/UDP).
   For consistency, I would list both motivations for assignment removal
   in the abstract and introduction.

2. The introduction mentions that
   "... many of these assignments are for a transport protocol (i.e., UDP)
    for which the requesting application does not apply"
   and then the document actually removes one.
   Maybe the use of "many" can be improved to be more precise.

3. The introduction mentions that
   "... many of the assignments are for protocols that are not deployed
    and were tagged as Historic"
   and then the document actually removes three.
   Maybe the use of "many" can be improved to be more precise.
