Thanks Nathan K for clarifying that.

On Nathan Y's remark on changes to the legalcode-pages. I don't think that 
making them more secure (i.e. more accessible for people who browse the web 
certain ways) would change anything in the legal code. We shouldn't confuse 
significant changes to the actual texts or appearance to the these document to 
keeping up to date with technology. We are actually changing the appearance of 
these pages by not changing them, as they won't load properly on user's browser 
with more strict security guidelines..

I would be we wholly in favour of refactoring all ~750 legalcode pages if that 
would mean that they would be accessible over more secure connections. Don't 
get me wrong, I believe we should never change the actual wording or layout of 
these documents but in 20 years these documents need still be visible to the 
common browser and protocols at that time. If we can now identify a trend of 
more https (or spdy) traffic than I think we should enable and add those 
protocols to these pages.

@Dan, as this will be under your supervision in a couple of weeks, what are 
your thoughts?

Cheers,

Maarten
