Re: Strict mixed content checking (was Re: MIX: Exiting last call?)

Aha, yes, my mistake.

So then I more emphatically suggest that we need a resource-level flag.
One of the other unfortunate things ads do is start as a <script> tag and
then dynamically inject an <iframe>.  Preventing any HTTP requests from
happening in descendant contexts seems a reasonable goal. (even if <script>
=> <iframe> is a horrible pattern)
