IMHO makes a good point about hosted content...

let us find a balance 
where the goal of the perfect 
(HTTPS everywhere)
does not overwhelm the reality of the good-enough
(maybe just same origin)

a content author can be responsible for ensuring that
all the requests from their content go to secure sites
if they want/need to tighten things down
but 
this proposal would make it the browser's responsibility
to play 'nanny'...
it would remove choices from the author/producer
and
taking options away from them
seems to rarely be A Good Idea
