It would be one thing to run, say, nfs and ftp on the same port.
I would call that "running two different protocols on the same port."
That being one case, what do you call it when DOIs which use
similar payloads, similar exchanges, and the same header with
a switch to identify them are run on the same port? It is misleading
to suggest that the first case is the same as the second.

I don't know yet if sharing the same port among different DOIs
is an important issue but it's clear that the protocol is designed to
demultiplex exchanges that belong to different DOIs. I know of
two implementations where this was implemented very efficiently.
