It looks like at that f2f, Mark's "Proposal One" was adopted;

   Dedicate a sizeable portion of text warning of the dangers of using
   the default port, and encouraging the use of an alternate port when
   possible.

Which is great from my POV.  But I don't think that precludes us
defining an alternate port in the default HTTP binding that folks can
use in place of 80.  But I don't have strong feelings one way or the
other.  It would only be for convenience.
