Do you have specific ideas about how you think things should be refactored?

I think the only realistic thing we can do is make nsIChannel work more
like the fetch spec over time.

Of course, the main problem will be that we have to support backward compat
in places the spec might be able to say its making a breaking change
compared to the wild web.
