Added as proposal 156:
https://svn.torproject.org/svn/tor/trunk/doc/spec/proposals/156-tracking-blocked-ports.txt
so we don't lose track of it.

My understanding is that the next step here is to a) decide if this
overall approach is the right approach, and b) revise the patch to be
more memory-friendly.

Thanks!
