[spec] mercury highlights ☿️

IANA claims it's registered to "Tivoli NPM" (presumably Network
Performance Monitoring).  tivoli.com just redirects to ibm.com, and the
Wikipedia page says that Tivoli Software is largely defunct after an IBM
acquisition[0].  IBM even seems to have registered new ports for Tivoli
after their acquisition of it![1]

If it's a big worry, we could try to contact the address given to the
IANA[2] and ask if they could "de-assign"[3] their registration.
