[whatwg/xhr] Why does headers-normalize-response.htm expect null bytes to be allowed? (#165)

Per spec (first line is from the XHR spec; others are from Fetch spec which it links to):

>A request has an associated header list (a header list). Unless stated otherwise it is empty.
>A header list consists of zero or more headers.
>A header consists of a name and value.
>A value is a byte sequence that matches the following conditions:
>  - Has no leading or trailing HTTP whitespace bytes.
>  - Contains no 0x00, 0x0A or 0x0D bytes.

Apparently only Firefox goes against the spec and supports null bytes for XMLHttpRequests (but not Fetch in general): https://wptdashboard.appspot.com/XMLHttpRequest/headers-normalize-response.htm

Should the tests be changed to reflect the spec, or the spec (and other browsers) updated to match Firefox?
