The first row of todo.md's misc table under v0.1.0, which goal 11 puts first: a log or request fixture holds a method, a port and a protocol more often than anything else outstanding.

Each is the register, filtered by a rule the script states. httpmethod drops the * the registry holds to stop anyone registering it, keeping 40. protocol drops what the registry leaves unassigned, reserves or marks deprecated, and takes the keyword as the name where it gives none, keeping 139. port takes the TCP assignments with a service name and a description the registry has filled in, and keeps the first service listed for a port so a number selects one row, keeping 5810 — misc.port[443].name is https, misc.port[3306].name is mysql.

misc.port renders the number, since that is what a port field holds. misc.protocol renders the keyword and misc.httpmethod the method, each carrying its register's columns beside it.

Both httpmethod and port draw uniformly over the whole register, so a bare draw is usually an obscure value. That matches misc.httpstatus, which has shipped that way since it landed, and no frequency register exists to weight either from.

Drop a filter that matched nothing, keep the 79 ports it hid, and exit on a value the registers should not hold baed259802
