I think that that is a compromise worth considering: Allow mixed-content
fetch in a service worker only if the fetch is forwarding a request
generated from the browser's normal fetching of a <img>, <video>, or
<audio> source, and otherwise block it.

IMO, it doesn't make sense to advance this document to PR if it describes
something where there is not agreement and that people don't intend to
implement. I wish people agreed with what the spec says, but specs are not
supposed to be wishful thinking. I think pushing the current document
forward is likely to result in worse (less strict) mixed content blocking
in real implementations than if we took the time to properly resolve the
issue.
