Why use ssl for a fully static site?
If you had a purely informational site and it listed phone number, address, or heck even a bitcoin address, wouldn't you want to make sure that your visitors got the actual site and not something malicious?
There was a story last week about a guy who's ISP was inserting content into web pages. I can't find the link as I think it got lost as a result of the HN server crash. SSL prevents crap like that.
If so, in that case the ISP altered DNS results to point to its own HTTP server and redirect to the real one with a modified URL. SSL would have helped a bit, but the first problem is that DNSSEC isn't more widespread.
