What if they're running their OCSP on something other than port 80 because
port 80 is already in use for a web server?

(Not trying to have a perpetual-motion-machine debate here, just trying to
point out that there probably isn't any universally applicable way to restrict
this, so the ultimate choice may well be AIA or no AIA (and CRLDP and various
equivalents)).
