Agreed. In-line comments in torrc are the least-possible
documentation someone can read before becoming a tor exit node.
As a compromise, how about blocking 6667 and 80 in the default tor
ExitPolicy, then having in the supplied torrc:
# Port 80 (HTTP) Administrators running routers with port 80 open
# have received abuse reports regarding Google Groups, and been
# added to the IP blacklist at Wikipedia
#ExitPolicy accept *:80
Easy to enable if you want to, and the server operator is aware of
the risk.
