Because the "www." hostname is part of the identity, the protocol is not (if we are talking about HTTP/1.x vs. HTTP/2 or QUIC--HTTP vs. HTTPS is part of the identity, of course). > Both are equally useless for most users when browsing. That's irrelevant. It still is part of the identity of the document.
