Comment on Three Dead Protocols

Don't frget about TCPMUX listening on port 1. (RFC 1078) That's a serious stuff that could see many applications even in today's world.

Interesting, it's like a layer-4 NAT. I'm not so optimistic about its practicality though, as we don't seem to have any sort of port shortage at the moment and a lot of new applications just get put on top of HTTP/HTTPS anyway.
