low ports, and root

Is their a way, or plans (that anyone knows of) to have access control
on low ports? I think it would be great to be able to specify which
ports would be allowed for which users and so fourth rather than just
having all low port be bindable only by root. This would make it easier
to run many servers as users rather than root. Rather than all of the
many ways people have come up with to help increase security in such
situations, chroot, drop root after bind, etc etc.
