450474 - Viewport metadata stored as pseudo-headers should be namespaced

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Viewport data parsed from document <meta> tags are stored as pseudo-headers on the document. But it's not hard to imagine that if/when this feature becomes standardized there's a chance it will be specified as header values which might conflict in the future. Better to namespace the pseudo-headers now to something we know won't be used just in case.

The standard recommendation would be "x-moz-viewport-foo" instead of "viewport-foo". You might be able to think of something better, but it's not worth wasting much brain on.

I'm not really ever going to do this. Unassigning myself.
