This actually doesn't send any new headers. The website is sending the
Speculation-Rules request header to us, the browser. The question is
whether the browser then processes it, and proceeds with performing
speculative loads. So I guess the question is, are there any failure
modes/compat implications of doing new speculative loads which were
previously blocked?

We're pretty confident there are no such compat implications:

   - On a general level, speculative loading is a progressive enhancement.
   Sites that try to use it are coded to be resilient to it happening, or not.
   - On a specific level, somewhere very close to 100% of the usage of the
   Speculation-Rules header comes from Cloudflare's recent Speed Brain launch,
   and we know that they are prepared for this.

Yes.
