Correct.  They are also, in some sense, easier to change, because a change 
to the ODS doesn't affect interoperability.  It's entirely possible for two 
different servers to reuse the same ODS field for different purposes.  But 
having two servers reuse the same protocol field or number for different 
purposes results in interoperabiltiy problems.
