Current situation on 14.04 LTS is the port 5800 is still open and currently responds to HTTP requests with:
<html><head><title>File Not Found</title></head>
<body><h1>File Not Found</h1></body></html>
Verified this was vino by killing it to see the port closed. Verified on a remote machine. In my testing I used the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers were followed to allow only local connections.
