I'm also a little concerned by this, but I think the acceptable solution is:

If a relay can exit on any port at all, it should have "Exit: Yes", because from an investigatory point of view, it CAN act as an exit. 

However, I'm a little worried that this will lead people to think that the relay can act as a general exit to the web (80, 443). I think it's important that we specify the ports that existed in the exit policy for that relay at that point in time. 

What's your opinion on this Karsten, Tim?
