I have mixed feelings about this. IANA should be the authority,
however from a pragmatic point of view, I've never seen, say, port
6010 used for a display, but I've definitely seen it used on an old HP
audio server. It may seem to be an old experimental freak, but it's
certainly more common that an X server accepting a connection on port
6010 ! May be we should go until 6009, but then it's the camel
designed by the horse committee. Really, I don't know. Some thoughts
someone ? Or has someone a beast with 5 displays ?
