I agree. To the degree that's actually possible. But to get back
to the specific discussion that started this thread: I wouldn't
personally consider Opera's mechanism (or any similar mechanism)
of providing a range of security indicators instead of just a
simple boolean indicator to be cruft or to be inelegant. An
analogy that comes mind is the difference in automobile dashboard
design between providing real gauges or instead just providing
simple either-completly-on-or-completely-off "idiot lights".
