standalone production?

Is it considered safe to run tomcat as a stand-alone
production server on ports 80 and 443? This requires
tomcat to run as root (or so I have read) and it is
therefore "not recommended". Using apache forks child
processes that run as nobody. But I don' want to use
apache. Again, is it safe to run tomcat as a
stand-alone production server on port 80 and 443 as
root? Or is there some way to deny root permissions
and still use these ports?
