Except now there's also the "Referrer-Policy" header, which is spelled correctly. I wonder if the spec committee debated calling it Referer-Policy for consistency.

Personally, I would have, since it refers to the Referer header it seems like it should follow the same spelling.
It would be like CSS having a "color" attribute, but then doing something like "default-colour".
Exactly, a Referer on the web is its own thing now. Referrer should be considered a typo if you’re referring to the Referer header.
They are paving a way to release a third spelling in the next update :p

I think that depends on whether or not you consider 'color' to be the correct spelling? :)
Guess you're not British then :)
