This is fine in theory, but doesn't work quite as well in practice.
I spent several years (unsuccessfully) trying to convince a sister
company that allocating TCP ports starting at 6001 for an application
was not a good idea (the system _did_ include an X-server, but not
multi-headed, luckily). It made using ssh quite a pain at times.
Orbix (IONA's CORBA implementation) uses a number of TCP ports - none
of which seem to be registered.
Closer to home, there's the recent problems with the RADIUS ports.
