Interested in your thoughts (and anyone else's) - is this OK for a website just serving content for consumption only, without logins, forms, etc? Would people rather that no-one can MITM and see which articles they read on the site? Or is it about conditioning people do demand HTTPS so that it's there when they need it? BTW: I feel I might be missing the real issues or unintentionally straw-manned them.
