 when I access a site, with a self-signed, expired and invalid, I can add
 it to exceptions, (or not; go back) when I add, this potentially harmful
 domain can use JavaScript (because its use HTTPS; assuming we are using
 middle slider).

 should have a mechanism to forbidden those exceptions and mixed-content to
 use JavaScript, because they can be harmful for user, especially assuming
 the users don't make any know about the risks.

 the options (in my view):

 1. force HTTPS untrusted to use HTTP by default.

 2. add a script or whatever, to disarm JavaScript on those sites (when
 using mid security).

 3. a very informative and scarry warning on it.
