Some people think that overloading all kinds of traffic over the ports
assigned to HTTP and HTTPS is not a good thing. Ports are assigned for a
reason. If you want to access XMPP services from behind a firewall, open
up port 5222 (5223 is a legacy port used for SSL-only connections but
that is no longer needed since we can seamlessly upgrade port 5222 to
TLS). However, serving up the HTTP binding (see JEP-0124) on port 80 or
port 443 seems perfectly fine to me.
