On this subject, as part of the IPv6 testing I've run a JS tester on ENWP for a couple of months now which has determined that for hosts able to run the JS tester, protocol relative urls (i.e. <img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/foo.jpg"/>) work for all clients.
If protocol relatives turn out to be universally supported they would remove one problem from doing a native SSL deployment.
Why would one suspect that they're not universally supported?
It's the kind of weird, uncommon thing that just screams "I'm a corner case that lots of people probably didn't bother to implement because I'm not in common use in the wild". :)
Even if browsers support it I would expect to see a lot of bots and spiders choke on it -- it's bad enough a lot don't understand that "&" in an <a href="..."> needs to be decoded as "&"... :)
