One thing that itches me about the referrer working draft is the naming of the policy used for not sending a Referer header. Basically, I find (linguistically) a policy named none too similar to the policy which is null. While they are different policies. I would prefer if it was named with a more dissimilar word such as ‘empty’ or ‘omit’. I expect it to be most confusing to developers accustomed to python, where None is a keyword equivalent to javascript null. Dealing with referrer policy from python would make for funny code, that would have to check for None and 'none'. But not really help for correctness. Regards
