Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors] Proposal: Update :visited language to state UAs must preserve user privacy (#11151)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[selectors] Proposal: Update :visited language to state UAs must preserve user privacy`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: UAs MUST preserve user privacy`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;emilio> ScribeNick: emilio<br>
&lt;emilio> TabAtkins: won't go over background of visited privacy leaks<br>
&lt;emilio> ... last year ??? started to take up the project to close that loophole<br>
&lt;emilio> ... since them we've been happy with the experiment<br>
&lt;emilio> ... now we have a useful privacy-preserving visited<br>
&lt;emilio> ... we'd want to expand that language<br>
&lt;emilio> ... to make it more strict, from "may" to "must" help preserve privacy<br>
&lt;emilio> ... that might be not matching :visited at all, or might be doing something clever<br>
&lt;emilio> ... idea is to add an appendix with our approach too<br>
&lt;astearns> +1 to must<br>
&lt;emilio> emilio: +1<br>
&lt;emilio> Rossen: objections?<br>
&lt;emilio> RESOLVED: UAs MUST preserve user privacy<br>
&lt;joshtumath> TabAtkins: it must be a visual test to come up in WPT<br>
&lt;emilio> ChrisL: any impact on WPTs?<br>
&lt;emilio> iank_: not many, must be reftests<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> s/???/Kyra Seevers/<br>
&lt;emilio> emilio: and reftests might not be reliable (assume sync queries of visitedness)<br>
