    Hi,

    Reading the WIMS URI Scheme over again, I realized that I'd followed
    the SOAP spec itself (default HTTP port is 80) and not current IETF
    best practice.

    The latest IETF NetConf over SOAP draft says SHOULD use IANA-assigned
    port [tbd] for NetConf over SOAP/HTTP.

    For that matter, Candidate Standard PWG PSI/1.0 (SOAP/HTTP) says SHALL use
    port 3800 (IANA-assigned) first and only fallback to port 80 optionally.
    And PWG IPPFAX (IPP/HTTP) says MUST use IANA-assigned port 3951 as default.

    I suggest that I apply to Michelle at IANA for a WIMS over SOAP port (she
    granted one for both PSI and IPPFAX while they were work-in-progress).

    Comments?

    Cheers,
    - Ira
