Description Anne 2014-06-12 10:26:59 UTC 
Potentially we only need to serialize without fragment for referrer. Then we could just have "referrer flag" of sorts.
Comment 1 Anne 2014-10-14 18:26:18 UTC 
https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/referrer-policy/#strip-url handles this for referrer. Any other use cases?
Comment 2 Anne 2015-06-15 14:51:56 UTC 
Probably better to explicitly remove them before serializing. If you want to preserve them, copy the URL first.
