HTTPs everywhere is a critically important goal, but as Peter Eckersley at EFF points out, without best practices for keeping certificates current, with reliable cert authorities -- the -assumption- of a secure HTTPs connection can be undermined..

e.g. When encountering an "unrecognized certificate" warning - most people click through.... potentially connecting to a spoofed site.... even though it says HTTPs in the url bar.
