ACTION-386: Use TLS for Login Pages

Section 9.2 - Use TLS for Login Pages - now reads as follows:

  Web pages MUST use TLS, or similar protection, to protect both the
  solicitation and transmission of secrets, such as passwords,
  against disclosure to unauthorized parties.

In the 5 February minutes, I also find the following remark from
Tyler on IRC:

  An author MUST NOT create a web page served using TLS that
  includes other representations not served using at least that
  level of protection.

From the minutes, I can't quite tell whether that's supposed to be
an additional suggestion, or whether there was any agreement that
something along these lines should be included.

Tyler, any recollection?
