Clarify initiatorType #80
Conversation
- Added: fetch, beacon, navigation as valid values. The last case is important for ServiceWorker cases. Nav Timing 2 will report same value. - If none of the specified cases match, the default fallback is "other".

This still defines initiatorType according to "initiator", which is not defined anywhere. I don't have easy solutions to defining it here tho (there are no equivalent Fetch hooks, other than creating a map of Fetch type and destination to initiatorType, but even with that, some types fall off the edges, e.g. "beacon")

s/initiator/if the request is a result of processing the element.
or, some such?

Definitely better than current definition

Is this defined for navigation timing's sake?

There's also ServiceWorker.. which intercepts navigation requests via RT and needs to be able to distinguish them as such.

@nicjansma Can you confirm that this matches your data? |

@toddreifsteck Looks great |
Based on the discussion earlier today on the webperf call...
fetch,beacon,navigationas valid values. The last case isimportant for ServiceWorker cases; Nav Timing 2 will report same
value.
other.Closes #69.
