It's a valid question, but I don't know how we can speak for
everybody
else in the world.
We shouldn't have to
IPP is just layered on top of HTTP, yet it has a Well-Known(!) Port
(631) assigned. Shouldn't it just use port 80? Apache supports virtual
servers, after all...
Right. And CIM is http based iirc, and that has it's own port.
To combat this line of questioning, try preparing a list of just the set
of ports that IANA has allocated that all use http as the protocol and
ask them why AMQP should be treated any differently than http wrt how it
is used
