Comment:
For the sake of consistency, should the misspelling not be preserved, at least
as an accepted varient? The keywords &quot;noreferrer&quot; and &quot;noreferer&quot; should be
equivalent.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: Originally I tried using the misspelling everywhere (for the sake of consistency), but this was highly unpopular amongst pretty much everyone but me, so I changed it to the right spelling where possible.

I don&apos;t think having both is a good idea; having two spellings for keywords leads to all kinds of complications that are very hard to deal with, and which are only worth it if there&apos;s a real big gain to be had. Here, there really isn&apos;t.</thetext>
