HTTPS's ties to TLS are a mistake. Pluggable HTTPS Backends would allow 
system administrators to provide alternative DV methods, like Tor and 
i2p, that also happen to be much stronger than those provided by TLS.

This would benefit everyone. Note that malware is already free to bypass 
TLS requirements, so no new risks would be added here.
