"Mixed Content" draft up for review.

As we (briefly) discussed in the May 7th call[1]
<http://www.w3.org/2011/webappsec/draft-minutes/2014-05-07-webappsec-minutes.html#item07>,
mixed content is poorly defined, and doesn't really belong in either Fetch
or CSP directly. I've put together a draft "Mixed Content" specification[2]
<https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/mixedcontent/> in the hopes of
addressing those concerns.

This draft does not attempt to invent new functionality, but instead to
document and refine the mixed content behavior user agents already exhibit.
I hope it contains no real surprises. Your feedback would be very much
appreciated.

Note: the algorithms and implementation rely heavily on the Fetch living
standard, which Anne has been kind enough to offer to modify as
outlined in section
6 of the draft[3]
<https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/mixedcontent/#fetch-integration>.
