-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Once Proposal 171 is implemented (#1865), Tor Browser should set the
 Proposal 171 SOCKS username to a function of the hostname in the referer
 header (possibly caching the first referer for subsequent link
 navigation). If the referer is blank, we should use the request URL
 hostname. This policy should effectively give us the same top-level origin
 isolation for circuit use that we want for other identifiers.
