Re: CfC: Mixed Content to PR; deadline July 6th.

I'm reliably informed that I'm simply incorrect about Chrome's behavior:
Alex says that Flipboard is already using a Service Worker, and relies on
the ability to cache insecure image content. That surprises me a bit, since
the mixed content implementation in Blink doesn't have an obvious
exclusion, but I don't doubt his claim.

Nevertheless, I believe we decided in the F2F earlier this week to
transition the document to PR as it stands, and to come back to the
question of exclusions (both for SW and for things like EME) in a "Level 2"
document (Brad, Wendy, does that match your recollection?).
