Comment:
Rename this from API referrer source to simply referrer source as the plan is
to use it for all fetches. I think it would be even more ideal if this was
always a URL and updating the document would update both. Just to give less
hassle to downstream algorithms.

For comparison: the API base URL is also not something that needs to be gotten from the document even though that is where it originates.

Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-11-12 19:33:54 UTC 
Ugh, turns out I was already using the term "referrer source" and this caused all kinds of conflicts. Well, these will mostly go away when we merge with Fetch, so I'm just papering over it for now.
