Comment (by mmcc):

 I think there's an important distinction here: should we indicate whether
 the website '''supports''' FS, or whether we're '''using''' FS for the
 current connection? I think the latter would be more direct and useful. FS
 support usually implies FS use, but things like misconfigured cipher
 preferences or tampered-with cipher lists are dangerous exceptions.

 Is anyone working on this? I'm interested in doing some development on it
 over the next couple of days. I have little icon graphic design
 experience, but the JS seems pretty straight-forward.
