It appears that expired certificates should get the same treatment - if the 
user has already bypassed a confirmation dialog for https, there is no need to 
block wss.

And yes, I was talking about it in the context of web browsing. In fact, a 
better solution for development could be adding your local signing authority 
key to Keychain, but I wasn't sure if the request was about development or 
deployment.
