Comment:

 CC'ing people who've hacked on this ruleset.

 The problem appears to be as follows:

 WordPress embeds a CSS file like this one:
 http://www.wordpress.org/style/wp4.css?12

 We <a href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-
 everywhere.git/blob/1.1:/src/chrome/content/rules/WordPress.xml">rewrite</a>
 that to https://s-ssl.wordpress.com but that server has stopped working.

 Currently it seems that a rewrite to
 https://www.wordpress.org/style/wp4.css?12 instead would fix the problem.

 Question: do we know if there are any other things that
 s-ssl.wordpress.com|org are being used for, where a rewrite to
 https://www.wordpress.com would cause problems?
