Even for port 80? I'm not saying this is incorrect, but it is
non-intuituve, and will likely confuse a lot of people. Remember, people
may wish to share cookies across port 80 and (say) port 8080 and may
assume they only have to include 8080 in the port list.

On the other hand, it would certainly be useful to exclude port 80. I
don't know.

If you're going to reinvent the wheel, at least try to come
