Known corner cases for this include URLs that redirect back to HTTP (these can be found out by watching the console output from Firefox with HTTPS Everywhere) and disabled rulesets.
But overall, this would be a very simple way to increase our confidence in HTTPS Everywhere's corectness as Mozilla's code changes.
