Title: User Ports for Experiments
Reviewer: David Lou

The draft proposes to reserve two user ports for experiment usages, and create
a PExID registry to differentiate shared use of these ports for concurrent
experiments. It's well written.

Major issues:
None

Minor issues:
1. This draft actually touches 2 topics, the USR-EXP and the PExID. Although
they are associated with each other, the PExID could be potentially used by
other experiment ports (like 1021 and 1022). But the title only covers the
former. Therefore, I wonder whether it would be better to reflext PExID in the
title as well.

2. P2, "EXP2 -> "EXP2"

3. P3, "that are, that are...", duplicated twice

4. P5, "network-stand byte order..." -> "networkstand byte order", to make it
consistant with other apprearance

5. P6, "SCTP and DCCP connections can use self-assigned Private service codes,
which provide experimental-use identification [RFC4340][RFC5595]". The 2 RFCs
only covers DCCP. It would be nice to have one reference for SCTP as well.

6. P6, "...a single approach to indicating..." -> "...a single approach
indicating..."

David
