Over at About Mobility, C.Enrique Oritz has posted his HELL YEAH article, stating how BAD AN IDEA it is to even call it HTTPS.  The problem is that the W3C HTTPS standard will allow traffic from your mobile browser to your (encrypted server) Bank to be decrypted by proxied transcoders, like Opera.  The user thinks his data is secure, because it’s HTTPS, when infact, the return traffic from the Opera proxy server is not encrypted.
