Could very well be. Wouldn't be surprised at all. I brought it up more
in the hopes that linking it to an active thread might get me an answer
than because it was particularly crucial to the subject at hand. :)

That said, providing an explanation of that detail might help quiet some
of the complaining. With details of how to use the "SSL forwarding"
feature, users who don't feel comfortable with the NX user and other
controversial aspects of the NX system could bypass them and do it
themselves (presumably. Again, I don't know how it works yet so I'm only
speculating.)
