[MIX] HSTS, SW and mixed-content

(resending here MIX issue 157 [1], per Mike West suggestion)

Hi,
Section 4.1 talks in a Note about HSTS forcing all content in the 
'blockable' category, which is related to HSTS Ancillary Requirement 
number 1[2], but nothing in section 4.1 or in anywhere else (thinking of 
section 5) about HSTS Core Requirements number 4[3], URI scheme rewriting 
(See also HSTS URI Loading and Port Mapping[4] ).

There are a few issues here:
Is the characterization of the potentially secure/a priori insecure URLs 
done before or after applying HSTS URL rewriting? The same question goes 
if the request is handled by a ServiceWorker (and in fact anything that is 
impacting resource fetching).

Thanks,
