While discussing port number assignments for a pile of engineering applications, I brought up the subject of RFC1078 TCPMUX while a web developer was present. He had not heard of TCPMUX before, but he immediately saw that it would be a useful way to supplant the port number component of the URL with something a bit more flexible; a service name. This seems to be a reasonable and obvious idea, so I read the relevant parts of the central URL RFCs (1738 and 2396) and searched the rest. AFAICT, this is an original idea among the published RFCs.
