Hi,
fwiw, NoScript 1.9.8.9 (next stable release, to be published during the
incoming week), will support STS according to the current specification.
I had heard just yesterday from a leader Asian e-commerce player who
wants to deploy it as soon as possible (even in the beginning of October).
I'm chatting with their security staff right now, and they're enthusiast
of this development (especially of WebKit support).
Cheers

Subject: fyi: Strict Transport Security specification
Hi,
We wish to bring the following draft specification to your attention..
Strict Transport Security (STS)
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2009Sep/att-0051/draft-hodges-
strict-transport-sec-05.plain.html>
It specifies a refined approach to that described by Jackson and Barth
in..
ForceHTTPS: Protecting High-Security Web Sites from Network Attacks
https://crypto.stanford.edu/forcehttps/
An experimental implementation of STS will be appearing in the Google
Chrome
dev channel in the not-too-distant future..
Google Chrome 4.0.211.0 (dev channel)
Sid Stamm (of Mozilla) has a Firefox extension presently implementing
an earlier revision of this specification (a soon-to-appear v2.0 of
the extension will implement the present spec version)..
Force-TLS 1.0.3
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12714
Sid also discusses this approach in this blog post..
Locking up the valuables: Opt-in security with ForceTLS

We are interested in bringing this work to W3C WebApps Working Group as a
Recommendation-track specification. We are willing to license it under
W3C
terms, we understand that it may change due to implementer or public
feedback,
and that should it be of interest to other implementors, we're willing to
contribute to editorial and test suite efforts.
We're looking forward to the WebApps WG's feedback and comments.
Thanks,
