I still think that stopping as much evil content as possible inbound has it's merit bit HTTPS does pose a problem .. one possible solution to stop the outbound leakage might be to (and I am certianly not suggesting this be done any time soon) make TOR a virtual interface device. then one could just send all internet traffic through it (oh, trust me I have some small idea of how ugly and complicated this would be.. it'd probably mean very different source trees for Windows/*nix/Mac) So, well just file that in the Porches and other pipe dreams pile.
