see TimBL's "don't break the web" request to keep the uris the same, regardless 
of method of access.

Mark:

I support this policy.

Thanks.

I'd suggest that if it's felt that cleartext content needs to be available, 
it NOT be at <http://www.ietf.org/> (and similar); it should be on a 
different hostname; e.g., <http://www.cleartext.ietf.org/>. The http version 
of the URL should 301 to the corresponding https resource, and HSTS should be 
in use.

That’s very good feedback - thanks. We will take it into consideration.

Jari
