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.
example.org matches against http://example.org:80,
https://example.org:8000, etc. The scheme and port both act as a
wildcard.
To make it possible to require a certain scheme but allow access from
any port we can introduce * for port. So you can specify
http://example.org:* which does match http://example.org:81 among others.
Any opinions?
