I am extremely sympathetic to the "SSL inherently breaks the promise of the web" arguments, and yet this story makes no sense... why is the cost of converting a website to use SSL being measured in gigabytes of content rather than in number of hostnames cross endpoints, and how is (from the web page, not your quote of it) breaking all of the URLs even slightly an acceptable step on the way to a solution?! Just none of their situation makes sense to me...
