Use of non-standard port numbers in sites running Dreamwidth code
Currently, Dreamwidth supports (somewhat half-heartedly and clumsily) sites with user-visible URLs that look like http://www.example.com:6809/, and I've been wondering about a few things:
1- How many sites running Dreamwidth code actually use that feature? How many couldn't run without it?
2- If you're considering running a Dreamwidth-based site or are working on one, would it or does it need that feature to run?
3- If neither of the above applies to you, do you find that feature important, pleasant, infuriating, or neither? Why?
(Note: I'm not speaking of hosted Dreamhacks here, since even those that use another port internally are mapped to port 80 using Perlbal.)
