I filled out the port number and multicast forms last week.

I've already received a Multicast address, ticket [IANA #656814]:

224.0.23.178  JDP Java Discovery Protocol

Also listed under <http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses>.
(The way things work, it's listed under the requestor.  But the address 
is yours.)

I was asked to pass on the following comment:

"Approved. But please tell them to consider cases where different
networks (like many universities around the world) have multicast
connectivity, and applications in one network discovering
applications in totally unrelated networks."

The port number application, ticket [IANA #656816], hasn't been 
processed yet.  I requested registration of port 7095, but I don't know 
if we'll receive a different number in the end.

How should we proceed?  Should we wait a bit and change default address 
and port in one patch?  Or do you want to change the default address now 
and the port number later?
