Moreover, there is still the problem with secure, in that following interwiki links doesn't stay with secure, so have to re-login for each site. (Also, secure is slower than ever, and edits sometimes log the IP instead of the user name.)
While I'm thinking about it: why doesn't universal login work from secure? After all, the centralauth credentials seem to exist, so the various *wiki sites should be able to find them automatically? For example, I've logged into enwiki via secure, that I get to from the usual insecure login page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Special%3AWatchlist goes to (sadly dropping the watchlist link) https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Special:UserLogin But the link from https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Special:MergeAccount to meta http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login doesn't use https and/or show me logged in! :-( Contrarily, the interwiki links from Main_Page at the bottom work fine, but the language links on the left side do not.... Looking at the source, it seems somebody went through some template hoops to make the secure links. But the <prefix><colon> system should just work!
