+
+My one-patch htmlbalance branch fixes incompatibility with HTML::Tree 4.0.
+From the git commit:
+
+ The HTML::Tree changelog says:
+
+ [THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE OR TESTS]
+ ...
+ * Attribute names are now validated in as_XML and invalid names will
+ cause an error.
+
+ and indeed the regression tests do get an error.

OpenID, and see how OpenID works for you. And let me know your feelings about
making such a switch. --[[Joey]]

###LiveJournal openid
One caveat to the above is that, of course, OpenID is a distributed trust system which means you do have to think about the trust aspect. A case in point is livejournal.com whose OpenID implementation is badly broken in one important respect: If a LiveJournal user deletes his or her journal, and a different user registers a journal with the same name (this is actually quite a common occurrence on LiveJournal), they in effect inherit the previous journal owner's identity. LiveJournal does not even have a mechanism in place for a remote site even to detect that a journal has changed hands. It is an extremely dodgy situation which they seem to have *no* intention of fixing, and the bottom line is that the "identity" represented by a *username*.livejournal.com token should not be trusted as to its long-term uniqueness. Just FYI. --[[blipvert]]

+[[!tag patch]]
+
+For a while I've been using a configuration where each wiki has a HTTP and
+a HTTPS mirror, and updating one automatically updates the other, but
+that seems unnecessarily complicated. My `https` branch adds `https_url`
+and `https_cgiurl` config options which can be used to provide a HTTPS
+variant of an existing site; the CGI script automatically detects whether
+it was accessed over HTTPS and switches to the other one.
+
+This required some refactoring, which might be worth merging even if
+you don't like my approach:
+
+* change `IkiWiki::cgiurl` to return the equivalent of `$config{cgiurl}` if
+ called with no parameters, and change all plugins to indirect through it
+ (then I only need to change that one function for the HTTPS hack)
+
+* `IkiWiki::baseurl` already has similar behaviour, so change nearly all
+ references to the `$config{url}` to call `baseurl` (a couple of references
+ specifically wanted the top-level public URL for Google or Blogspam rather
+ than a URL for the user's browser, so I left those alone)
