For what it's worth, neither will Gecko.  It will also not show it in the URL 
bar, etc.  The URI object creation process performs various normalizations, and 
one of those is removing the port part if it's the default port for the 
protocol.  So once you've gone from a string to a URI object in Gecko, only 
non-default ports are listed explicitly.
