worst consequence of this is possible pingback, so maybe it doesn't even qualify as B4

also, afaict, firefox doesn't load these anyways: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628747

Looks like this issue will likely not get a CVE due to this [1] correspondence. With that being said, I will add this bug to the GLSA just to be safe.
