Adding an option to set world-writable permissions on the socket
doesn't sound like a good idea to me. How does your application get
access to the serial port?

Applications like gpsd and ntp-refclock normally start with root
privileges, open all devices and sockets they will need, and then
switch to an unprivileged user.
