If someone at IANA were to tell us that this number assignment was officially withdrawn, then we would drop it. We really wouldn't have much choice, nor would any other implementor that wanted to claim that their LDAP product was fully IETF-compliant.
Sorry, but the assignment of a port number by IANA is not really required for supporting LDAP over SSL/TLS on a separate port since you could happily use ldaps://host:636 or any other port anyway and still be IETF-compliant.
Ciao, Michael.
