We aren't counting particular incidents, just the facts of the case,
which was that any high port was accepted, and that at least one cert

As noted in the original write-up, at the time of the incident, the
relevant formal documents did not specify exact port numbers, but
Mozilla feels that the fact that ports over 1024 are unprivileged is
basic security knowledge that any CA should have.
