 With the Identica ruleset enabled, the error console constantly gets
 filled with error messages:

 > Error: Permission denied for <!http://meteor4.identi.ca> to get property
 Window.Meteor
 > Source !File:http://meteor4.identi.ca/poll.html
 > Line: 14

 This is because of the same-origin policy being enforced, causing the
 method call on parent.Meteor from http://meteor4.identi.ca to
 https://identi.ca to fail due to the differing URI scheme.

 It looks to me like a rule like

 {{{
 <rule from="^http://(meteor\d+\.identi\.ca)/" to="https://$1/" />
 }}}
 with an appropriate target host would fix this.
