All it does is it leads people to use completely unencrypted HTTP instead, 
to avoid the "big scary warnings". How does that provide any added security?

I like the way Konqueror handles this: it does complain about self-signed or 
otherwise invalid certs, but it allows you to accept them either temporarily 
(for the duration of the session) or permanently in 2 clicks (one to accept 
and one to choose whether to accept it for the session or forever).
