 some blogs use SSL in the backend. and i named that. user data always
 should be handeled as secure as possible (even not done on every wp-blog,
 i know, but we should enable users to do so). so i have no problems to
 offer features to wordpress users (wordpress users =/= some wordpress
 blogs user accounts).
