Turns out testing shows that Mozilla/5.0 is hardly required at all - removing it makes very little difference. Of course, you have to consider the PR angle of Mozilla shipping a browser without "Mozilla" in the UA string... > Maybe we could get away with not exposing the platform. We've avoided doing that on B2G but there are more use cases for it (software download being a big one) on desktop platforms. I suspect we'll need to do the same thing for Servo. The "Gecko" question is the biggest and thorniest one: http://mozillamemes.tumblr.com/post/54457741200/as-of-ie11-every-major-browser-ua-includes-like I agree with the strategy of pretending exactly to be Firefox and making a note to assess our options again later. Pretending to be Firefox will give us the content we need to be attempting to be compatible with, and that's what Servo needs in its life right now, I'd suggest.
