Re: [fetch] Access to the HTTP trailer (#34)

@mcmanus thanks, that fills in the gaps :)

> my suggestion was based on the argument that trailers are not appropriate to use as they are too easily conflated with headers along the way.

I guess that's the crux of the issue, but I think that still brings us back to https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/34#issuecomment-121678952:

> Proxies promoting trailers into headers is a pre-existing issue and the proposal here would do nothing to change that. I raised the issue in response to sleevi@ noting that browsers interpreting trailers may pose a new security risk simply to note that the risk already existed in another form and nothing being discussed here is addressing that issue. Relatedly no one has argued for browsers to start interpreting trailers, which would represent a new risk.
