Yeah, at first I didn't think they were necessary, but I see now that
they are. Reason being that we only do the port allocation when parsing
XML, not when formatting any random DomainDefPtr like I was assuming. So
it's better to have all the callers manually set a target port if
building a ChrDefPtr by hand. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
