I had not seen this, thank you, this would 
certainly be a valid fallback use case also.

Yes, I was hoping for a simple HTMLified 
solution.

Seems like perhaps instead of implementing 
this at the browser level, this could be 
implemented at the proxy level.  Simply 
send requests to a personal local proxy 
which can intercept encrypted pages and 
decrypt the ones it has the private keys 
to!  This would be more versatile, usable 
by more browsers, less vulnerable to 
JS/other dynamic html attacks...

Anyone want to implement it? ;)  It could
use gpg.  Can anybody suggest a good 
simple well written proxy which would be 
easy to hack to add this to?
