Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Migrating some high-entropy HTTP request headers to Client Hints. (#320)

Correct. This is documented in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-lang-client-hint-00#section-3.1.

I don't think so. It means that language preferences will not be leaked over plaintext channels, reducing the opportunity for network attackers to build a profile of a given agent's behavior over time. Similarly, I'd like to limit the `navigator.language` and `navigator.languages` accessors (see 3 in https://github.com/WICG/lang-client-hint#a-proposal).

Do you think it's a problem?
