thinking of tagging 1.2.0 for when NTS is officially official.

Yes.

It's not a random address.  It's the default port number to use when you say 
something like:
  server bob.example.com nts
You can specify a port number with:
  server alice.example.com:567 nts

"pre-arrangement" and "existing channel" are interesting terms.  You don't 
specify the port number when you use ssh or http to talk to a box.  (At least 
most of the time.)
