That's pretty low-brow :)

Actually, ports bear a passing relationship to protocols, but there are
no hardwired dependencies.

The point is that the when Web proxy clients remote a HTTP request to
the Web proxy filter on the ISA firewall, the Web proxy filter accepts
it as an HTTP request, regardless of what the destination port is. Some
people didn't like this, some people do like it. I like it because
you're controlling destination protocol access, not port access. If you
give permission to use HTTP, what the destination server port is remain
unimportant.
