FYI, TDP is a project separate from this list, although TDP is here :)

Right, and I never considered this before you raised this a few weeks
ago.  I've always kept standard on tcp/9001 and tcp/9030 for the
directory port.

There must be lots of obvious cases in which only 80 and 443 are allowed
as egress traffic.

Are there other considerations on this?
