Re: [whatwg/fetch] Deferred fetching (PR #1647)

@annevk commented on this pull request.

1. "inactive timeout" -> "deferred delay". At least that seems clearer to me.
2. I think `fetchLater` was quite nice in that it sorts the same as `fetch`. `fetchDeferred` could also work, though is a bit harder to spell. I don't think we need request in the name.
3. It's not clear how the name fetch group states get activated. That needs some kind of additional PR against HTML I suppose?
4. I think we should describe the API in the same section as the fetch method. Could be called "Fetch methods" then.
5. Deferred fetching itself could then precede the "Fetch API" section. Maybe it could even be a subsection of "Fetching" though I don't mind a new top-level section.

No need for this to be both nullable and optional.
