This seems like an overly narrow take on the feature: it seems like this
needs to be wired up to Fetch in order to explain how the DNS assertion
turns into a decision about how to connect to sites (similar to HSTS's
integration
<https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#:~:text=Set%20request%E2%80%99s%20current%20URL%E2%80%99s%20scheme%20to%20%22https%22>),
and that upgrade will have web-visible impacts. Can I assume that you'll be
following the same algorithm (e.g. shifting from 80 to 443 by switching the
protocol, but not altering non-standard ports)?

It would be helpful to ask both Gecko and WebKit developers for more clear
signals as described in https://bit.ly/blink-signals.

Are there any folks lined up to use this? Presumably there are if Safari is
already making these queries?

We represent HSTS to developers in devtools. Presumably we'd want to do the
same for this mechanism, and signal in some way to developers _why_ a
particular request was upgraded?
