Now try hosting two different web services on two different hosts inside your NATted network on port 443, so you can use https:// without specifying a port.

Because that's the big advantage with IPv6 and users getting subnets instead of a single IP.

Your talk about ports highlights what I'm trying to get at: we already depend on layered address spaces.

Why not accept that and roll with it?

So you're saying if you're used to drive stick, you shouldn't think about buying an automatic at all?
