A restricted exit policy is a good idea, but Exits must include port 80.
(If they don't, they will mainly be used as guard and middle relays.)

Blocking port 80 isn't safe for users: it doubles the number of exits that
they must use, which doubles their risk of a malicious exit.

So, when directory authorities update to 0.3.2, they will only vote Exit for
relays that allow both port 80 and 443.
