About the UA: if you find sites break because you are sending a UA and
it sniffs you badly (e.g. sites using Enyo.js), I suggest _not_ trying
to tweak the UA to make every site work. That way lies madness. Instead,
hook servo or its harness up to our dynamic UA exception infrastructure
that we have for B2G.

Definitely! Fabrice also suggested we look into that. We will probably
start by downloading the UA exceptions a first time, as we don't have any
support in Servo for background checking of new versions of itself or any
of the resources we'd like to be able to update. I suspect that support
will come sooner rather than later, though, as there's a lot of interest in
being able to stream down things like updates to our HTML browser UI or A/B
test different versions of it on different portions of our (currently
nonexistent...) user base.

Thanks!
