169.254.0.0/16 was used for link-local assignment at MIT long before
Microsoft. Unfortunately, it wasn't defined in the first DHCP RFC,
but is in the current one.
AFAIK, Microsoft has never defined any unique address space. They
have, again AFAIK, coordinated their port number assignments with
IANA.
