I'd say that "everywhere" is a bit of an exaggeration.

"HTTPS Everywhere Possible" just doesn't have the same ring.

A few years back, I looked into making an extension that relied on an RFC that was never widely implemented, allowing a user agent to request an upgrade to HTTPS whenever possible. This is the next-best thing, relying on the authority of the user rather than the server.
