No real objection, though a question that might be important: "the" IETF draft, or just "an" IETF draft? I say this because client hints seems to be in some sort of perpetual limbo and I don't want to extend that unnecessarily.

We have in-flight PR's to update all the necessary plumbing in HTML and Fetch, we already pulled out network related hints into NetInfo, and we can integrate remaining hints into the HTML spec itself, which will also clarify all the outstanding CH questions we have on GitHub. For User-Agent specifically, we can+should define it directly in Fetch. > > > > WDYT, reasonable? > > > > -- > Mark Nottingham https://www.mnot.net/ > >
