SERVERPORT must be a bytes instance (not an integer). What's that supposed to mean? What goes in the "bytes instance"? A character string in some format? A long binary number? If the latter, with which byte ordering? What problem does this\ solve?

Just interpreting (i.e. not having participated in the specification):

Given the CGI background of all this, SERVER_PORT is an ASCII-encoded decimal rendering of the port number.

As to what problem this solves: I guess it allows for easy pass-through from the web server.
