This one's entirely my fault. I wrote "referer" because I was familiar with the old misspelling in HTTP's "Referer" field.
But I didn't know the web platform had already broken with that old misspelling in things like document.referrer. Since there is mixed precedent, I think we should spell the word correctly.
