Dereferencing, Re: Jotting down some discussion topics

Thanks Ivan, these notes are great.

However, I'd like to nip the following on the bud right now because I
worry about where the following could go:

> Because this is a URL, we will have to define what is returned by a server if that URL is dereferenced.

We won't actually: if a URL uses the http/https protocol (or a URL
scheme that Fetch understands), and the request is a known HTTP method
verb, and performed in terms of fetch, then Fetch defines what should
be expected by the client: a Response, with a mime type and other
helpful HTTP headers.

Thus, I would urge us to immediately stop using the legacy concept of
"dereference", as it's no longer part of the fetch lexicon (or part of
the Web Platform at all) - and can be extremely confusing as in
reality it has little baring on the behavior of clients that fetch
requests - and servers that serve responses.

Kind regards,
Marcos
