I guess I don't care strongly about this, so the ARC may want to provide 
a preference.  Either:

- Provide a safe default (no loading of unsafe HTTPS pages) and don't 
document this variable anywhere.

- or document only to the extent of saying "WEBKIT_IGNORE_SSL_ERRORS 
exists as an option but breaks security and generally should not be 
used".  Or something along these lines.
