Ivan,
Imagine DNS uses dynamic port assignment instead of port 53? Guess
what, no one would be able to use the internet. :-)

First, I believe you're trying to respond to me.
Second, you're asking questions about which you don't apparently understand.
What if I wanted to run my own implementation of DNS to do something
bizarre? SSH on a different port than 22 (quite common)? A web server
on port 88? Telnet on port 8000. I can do all of those things. And
apache, bind, tftp, ftp, telnet, sshd (and really almost every
service that assigns a port) all have the ability to change the default port.
If I'm running my own services, I might want the ability to run them
on non-standard ports. That's why there are defaults, AND the ability
to change them.
