> This should be optional to switch on, so no one's existing expectations of security get broken.
> The point is about having a generic wildcard  <page view-id="*" scheme="http" login-required="true">  to secure the whole site, and then allowing specific pages or specific wildcards to have login-required="false".  E.g. for a registration (with preview) section as one cannot be logged in if one isn't registered yet.
> Some may suggest instead forcing pages into dedicated secure and not-secure directories, but in reality if there are multiple reasons to force pages into directories different ways (security, hyperlink management, publishability of URLs, etc.), one cannot serve all of them.
