Perhaps bind to higher port number for non-root serving

Anyone who must have port 23 can redirect with local firewall or something instead of running the server with elevated privs.

redirection is a hassle and this problem would effectively be a roadblock for further adoption/adoption on public webservers.

also, changing it is probably easily done ;)

Very easily done. But anyone risking putting anything outside a firewall should take proper steps of caution. That is not part of this project.
