I've implemented a simpler variant, have been using it for LWN editor accounts for a little bit now. The authentication cookie is SSL-only, of course, but we also set an insecure "SSL only" cookie. Whenever the site sees that second cookie on a non-SSL connection, the browser is redirected. Seems to work great.
