[RFC 2396]: Port numbers not restricted to 0-65535 range.

Revision 1.12 of xercesc/util/XMLUri.cpp in CVS.

I found this one from inspecting the code. It seems that XMLUri for Xerces-C 
was modelled after Xerces-J's URI class, which happens to have several bugs 
(that I've already reported).

The Xerces URI implementation restricts the range of the port portion of a URI 
from 0 to 65535. This restrcition seems to have something to do with TCP/IP 
hosts, but it isn't part of RFC 2396.

Relevant productions:
hostport      = host [ ":" port ]
port          = *digit

See Xerces-J Bug #18777.
