A coworker also suggested using a different designator:

This is not unprecedented. An example is how CUPS handles this problem when connecting printers using URIs: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html where you might see this for the usual port:

lpd://ip-address-or-hostname/queue

And this for AppSocket AKA JetDirect:

socket://ip-address-or-hostname

I am certainly not going to defend printing setup with CUPS as a model worth emulating, just noting the similarity here. I think we'll save miles of user headaches if there's only one designator.
