Think about weakening this to talk about the default port of contact
rather than requiring the one and only IANA-assigned default
port to be used.  This allows more than one iSCSI implementation
behind a single IP address provided that the right ports are in the
discovery information.

This can be amazingly useful for debugging, testing, etc., and even
dealing with stupid firewall tricks (e.g., some http servers ran/run
at port 8080 for this reason - as long as the browser knows to go
to 8080 [in URL], it makes no difference).
