[squid-users] messy default configuration?

The default configuration file squid.conf contains following lines:

acl Safe_ports port 80 # http
acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp
acl Safe_ports port 443 563 # https, snews
acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher
acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports
acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt
acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http
acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker
acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http

Using these lines the client program

    /usr/local/squid/bin/client -vp 8080 mgr:config

shows:

acl Safe_ports port 80
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 21
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 443
acl Safe_ports port 563
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 70
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 210
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 280
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 488
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 591
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 777
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0
acl Safe_ports port 0

Though not defined port 0 is seen very often.

After deleting the comments for these lines

acl Safe_ports port 80
acl Safe_ports port 21
acl Safe_ports port 443 563
acl Safe_ports port 70
acl Safe_ports port 210
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535
acl Safe_ports port 280
acl Safe_ports port 488
acl Safe_ports port 591
acl Safe_ports port 777

the client shows

acl Safe_ports port 80
acl Safe_ports port 21
acl Safe_ports port 443
acl Safe_ports port 563
acl Safe_ports port 70
acl Safe_ports port 210
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535
acl Safe_ports port 280
acl Safe_ports port 488
acl Safe_ports port 591
acl Safe_ports port 777

which looks much better.

Are there any disadvantages with save-port 0 ?
