[whatwg] Document referrer and script entry point

[Adam Barth]

To answer these questions, you need to reverse engineer the behavior
of various user agents, compare them, and then pick a consensus
behavior that ideally is both interoperable between user agents and
compatible with existing content.

I'm happy to change WebKit to such a consensus behavior, but I don't
have the time right now to help you reverse engineer the behavior of
WebKit-based user agents.
