(And who knows if you'll get this. Interesting that HN fails at direct discussions)
The current usage model doesn't protect my initial access to BoA without me verifying that:
1. I've got a https connection
2. I haven't been redirected away to a rogue (SSL) site
You see the (https url)->(page retrieval) process as uniformly trusted (correct me if I'm wrong). I see stratification based on which third parties are doing the verification. Perhaps I'll have to wait for the emergence of a protocol explicitly designed for such things.
