Yes, that's what I meant.  Sorry for the confusion.

And, yes, I think I see what you mean about using a specific port number, but
I've usually tried to avoid that due to the additional administration that would
involve.  But I'll give the idea some thought.

It also looks like implementing an implementation repository might not be too
terribly difficult.

BTW, I have enjoyed your book!
