Great, but "the Web"? Or "the Internet"?

Call it a pet peeve, but I hate when people (especially technical ones talking about it in a technical context) forget that the Web is a subset of the Internet.

Only port 80 traffic is bound by net neutrality... ;-)

Don't forget port 443 or else you will not get your encrypted stuff equally served.

I'm going back to port 70, guys, sorry.

A corollary is that this may make ___ over HTTP more popular.

Actually net discrimination makes ___ over HTTP more popular because then you can hope that the magic black box prioritizes your traffic rather than penalizes it. In a neutral net, tunneling your protocol over HTTP or port 80 doesn't help.
