This is also known as "HSTS"[1] (HTTP Strict Transport Security), and
I would indeed love to have some time to implement it in Web.

Some other things that would be nice to have:
- EV-SSL support[2]. This could be somewhat complex to do it we
properly patch gnutls, but using something like 'gcr' it should be
relatively easy to add support for it in libsoup.
- Add support for Mozilla's Persona[3], or some other mechanism to
auto-generate and store passwords for pages.
- Make our already built-in adblock support better.
