We should allow rules for sites that are brave enough to refuse to pay the
SSL mafia any protection money, yet are still authenticated by other
authentication mechanisms, such as MonkeySphere or Perspectives.
Ideally, such rule sets or rule feeds would come with special attributes
that designate which authentication mechanism they require, so that we can
disable them unless either the user explicitly enables them, or if the
appropriate 3rd party Firefox extension is detected and installed.
This attribute could either take the form of
authenticated_by="perspectives,monkeysphere,manual", or it could take an
individual keyword=value pair, to provide additional options to the
authentication addon to determine if the rule should be automatically
enabled. (Ie such as auth_monkeysphere="key_id=0xgpg_id").
