What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Compatibility notes

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The HTTP protocol allows browsers to handle such responses differently (there is an ongoing discussion regarding the specification text in the HTTPWG http-core GitHub repository).

What did you expect to see?

The issue was closed with the most recent HTTP specifications that now do not allow any content (except CRLF?) for 204 anymore, if I understood the spec correctly.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
