It doesn't appear that the authors of this RFC had it in mind that
gophers would *always* appear on port 70:
There is nothing to prevent secondary servers or services from running
on otherwise named servers or ports other than 70, however these
should be reachable via a primary server.
Also, the word "should" doesn't mandate compliance. It's a
recommendation.
