Yes, I noticed that as well. As long as we do not define HTTPS we 
probably should take it out.

Hm, no. The section now mentions https, but that's it. I don't think 
that merits renaming it.

The "Note:" prefix matches other parts of the specs where we want to 
make clear that this is just a note, not part of the normative text. I 
think this applies here as well.
