Should the speculative parser have knowledge of<meta name=referrer>?
That's not what's currently specified. Like many other browser
features, this feature lets web sites detect that the browser is
speculatively prefetching resources. If that's a big issue, it's
something we can try to address.
It seems like a bigger problem is that if speculative prefetches don't
know about this <meta> then they will leak the referrer, which is
something the site did NOT want to happen.
A radically different approach that websites could take to express not
wanting the referrer to be sent on requests for a given page would be
sending a specific HTTP header in the response. This way, the user agent
would know what the intention is before having to read any <meta> header
and could do the prefetches without sending the referrer.
