Re: [whatwg/fetch] Request.destination for `<link rel=prefetch>` (#658)

> what about dns-prefetch, preconnect, prerender, modulepreload

`dns-prefetch` and `preconnect` - do we want to block them using CSP or other means? Do they need to be integrated to Fetch?

`prerender` and `next` - I'm under the impression that they were unshipped in Blink and not necessarily implemented anywhere else. If that's the case, we can probably remove them from the spec.

`modulepreload` - tbh, I haven't followed that up too closely, but I believe @domenic was leading the charge on that definition, as part of HTML.

> preload is not well-defined when it comes to Fetch integration... In particular the cache situation is rather unclear.

Yes, the caching situation is not well defined, similarly to the rest of the platform's caching. I agree that Someone™ should define that. I also think that properly defining it (while accounting for the current implementation differences) is a fairly large project. Personally, I'm afraid I won't be able to tackle in the near future.
