I disagree this is a pubrules bug. Why use https URIs to refer to these images from TR drafts served over http?
Using https URIs has a performance impact both for the server and on the client.

Dom mentioned to me that editors drafts could be handled differently than TR-ready drafts, and that respec might
be improved to generate http uris when the document is ready for publication. Pubrules currently does not have
an editor's draft filter.

We tried using // instead but too many people do things like checking drafts from the local file system and got confused (or even just an unpleasant experience).
