I'm leaning towards just reporting > 4 for data/about as all the data is already in. Why do you think it's in? In gecko all fetch activity is always asynchronous, independent of URL scheme. Furthermore, the network layer can chunk up the "data available" callbacks however it wants to ease implementation. Nothing requires it to keep data: in a single flat buffer. I'm strongly opposed to creating scheme-based special cases here based on assumptions about implementation techniques. -Boris
