Finally, I’d bet dollars to donuts the current firewall code didn’t validate the port range because the person that wrote the code initially didn’t know there was an allowed range.
I'll take that bet. The reason there's little validation is that originally, port was a single integer -- but it could be a formatted string. The firewall API gives feedback on each attribute of the firewall rule.

There's also the question of which rules to validate against (XP's or Vista's).

Dollars, please.
