Should we be adding https:// to new URI entries? Automatic way to do so?

Google

Yes, man in the middle attack. You can then end up on a phishing clone and I believe BW will still autocomplete if you have google.com instead of https://google.com in the entry, as the phishing website will be hosted on a spoofed http://google.com website. For more details about that spoofing, see my other comment here.

W2 Websites

Most real websites, not including my NAS, have an automatic HTTP REDIRECT if you try to navigate to their non-HTTPS site. This means even if you try to go to, say, http://my.adp.com, you will see a bit of blinking and refreshing and discover you are on an HTTPS URL.
