NonHTTPS.user.js

I find it maddening that when Firefox fetches a web page via SSL, it will also incorporate non-SSL items without explicitly telling you /which/ elements were transmitted in the clear. I've whined about this before. Now, it came up again when I started using HTTPS-ified iGoogle. So, instead of actually working on Xmas eve, I wrote a Greasemonkey Script to try to make these this kind of thing more obvious. It should work well on images and iframes that come at you from in the clear, and even makes some effort to render invisible elements, as well.
