My colleagues at Javacool Software got a feature request today for an existing product, that it should run on a custom port, presumably due to the client's unusual network setup.
While doing that, we decided that it makes sense to support this feature for IPv6 as well. However, it turns out that specifying a port on IPv6 is much more annoying that on v4. In v4, the format is like so: dot-separated-IP:port. In v6, like so: [colon-separated-IP]:port.
