I recommend that the spec default the port to the default port for the

I believe this was removed based on feedback from implementors. But maybe
we haven't fully considered all the options back then. I think we should
integrate this proposal as to not require authors to specify :80 on their
shared hosting accounts. The new algorithm would work as follows:
http://example.org matches against http://example.org:80 but not
http://example.org:81 The port defaults to the default port for the scheme.
Sounds good.
example.org matches against http://example.org:80,
https://example.org:8000, etc. The scheme and port both act as a wildcard.
Hmm.. this isn't really ideal I think as it would be very easy to forget
to add the 'http://' part and inadvertently end up in the situation Ian
describes. Could we use the default port of the requesting scheme instead?
