Summary
The `referrerpolicy` attribute allows a developer to set a referrer policy for certain HTML elements, which determines how the Referer header is set for requests issued while loading these elements. The attribute was already shipped for <a>, <area>, <img>, and <iframe> elements. This intent is for adding it to the `<link>` attribute.
Link to “Intent to Implement” blink-dev discussion
No separate "Intent to Implement" as this is a fairly small addition to an already shipped feature.
Is this feature supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?
Yes.
Interoperability and Compatibility Risk
Interoperability-wise, Firefox 50 is shipping the attribute on <link>: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/50
There's no particular compatibility risk to adding this feature.

(Not sure this warrants it's own entry)
