I do find the idea of HTTPS as an option useful, beyond ACLs, from a
privacy standpoint. Now that I think about it, I don't want everyone
between me and DBpedia being able to find out exactly which resources I
access, what sparql queries I write, what results I get etc. At this point
we can be sure that all this is being logged by all kinds of agencies.

Cheers,
Alexandru
