Description:
ISSUE-123 notes that inconsistent http and https URI spaces for a single web application can break techniques used to steer users toward safer interactions.

Strawman proposal: Let's add a section to chapter 9 which says:

<head>Offer https URIs that correspond to your http URI space</head>

Web Sites that are available under "http" and "https" URIs should design the URI spaces for these two schemes consistently. Specifically, when users change a URI's scheme to https, they should arrive at a page that is effectively the same as the page offered through plain http.

Or maybe this should go into 9.3, Use TLS Consistently across the web site?
