Not using protocol relative urls causes a great amount of pain. Unfortunately when you're building content for third party pages you need more graceful degradation than focus stealing dialogues.

Unless you are supporting China, IE6 usage is below 1% in virtually all countries: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5511627

That article says the problem is with the way SSL is set up on the host in the example, not with scheme relative URIs.

No, protocol relative URLS work fine in IE6. (The article you linked to doesn't say they don't)
