Description eisinger 2016-04-09 19:04:07 UTC 
It doesn't become clear from reading https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-3/#font-fetching-requirements why the referrer header is set differently than the origin header. In fact, I would expect from the referrer spec that the referrer header is set to the containing document, taking the containing document's referrer policy into account.
