[[
1. Modify request's url per HTTP Strict Transport Security, if applicable. [HSTS]
]]


In terms of step 1 in the Fetch alg -- by "Modify request's url per HTTP
Strict Transport Security" I suggest re-writing it more precisely along
these lines..

  1. Determine whether the url refers to a Known HSTS Host by applying the
algorithm given in RFC6797's section "8.3. URI Loading and Port Mapping" to
the request's url. This algorithm handles any needed url re-writing, and is
idempotent otherwise.

HTH,
