Sxipper also uses SSL, both for the OP-endpoint and for identifiers.  
For the OP-endpoint we've also defined a lower priority HTTP service  
endpoint.

Identifiers are HTTPS-only though; providing both HTTP and HTTPS  
identifiers to a user may confuse them, because they will end up  
using different identities if they log into an RP by presenting  
"user.op.com" vs "https://user.op.com".
