Whoa! What about merging the rotating K with some animation suggesting the 
cryptography status of the connection? Turning the K into a rotating padlock 
on going in ssl would be cool (and crypto level 56bits makes the bg red)  In 
the past I complained about this info coming from the toolbar padlock 
(unexpected source of status info) and proposed to frame the page in a red 
widget but it might suck. The transition from ordinary K to Padlock and 
viceversa could come with a little flash thus capturing the user attention 
(overall unobtrusive but noticeable when it needs to be)

2c,
