Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Clarify: use of referrers in font fetching and relationship with preloads (#6775)

Is there a concrete action item for this issue at this point? It seems that:
 1. @noamr's PR is merged
 2. We agree that resources in non-inline CSS sheets should use the CSS sheet's URL as the referrer
    - Safari apparently doesn't do this?
 4. CORS here shouldn't impact whether the `Referer` is sent (I believe)

The compat risk raised in the OP was (correct me if I'm wrong) that a font preload's referrer will be the Document's URL, while the font's _actual fetch_'s referrer will be a style sheet URL, yet reuse the different-referrer preload response. I guess this only matters when servers send `Vary: Referer`, which I don't think influences the preload cache. But per https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6775#issuecomment-954517516 it sounds like this is documented now.

Can we just file a bug against Safari for (2) above and close this, or is there something specific that can still emerge from this?
