Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-03-03 19:38:58 UTC 
So the bug here is that the spec doesn't currently _require_ that these URLs be fetched? It seems a bit crazy to require that we fetch normally-useless data, even if there are some esoteric libraries that happen to rely on the UA bug here.
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2014-03-18 13:36:25 UTC 
Yes. I agree on the crazy aspect, but I failed to get it fixed in Blink. :-(
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-04-09 22:17:37 UTC 
Can you elaborate? What pages need this? What browsers do it? Are there tests? What's the precise rules you want?
Comment 4 Simon Pieters 2014-04-10 09:08:08 UTC 
This needs some more investigation, see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=329531#c13
