This depends largely on sites dependence on hard-coded URLs.  If sites
(even legacy ones) stick the use of the [area] tag and other mechanisms
that check VendURL then the transition is relatively easy.

That said, I'm not opposed to adding this directive, I think it's a good
idea and don't see any particular issues with the functionality itself.
I just think that if someone is going to use it it may very well be a
good time to re-think your approach and consider a change to full https
instead.
