It is clearly futile since you can't send someone unencrypted plain text
and expect that they won't be able to look at it. And you must
necessarily do so if you want someone to look at your web page. Silly is
a value judgement I admit, but I stand by it. I think it's silly to
want something that is self contradictory.
