I know that IETF handled it well (basically by just saying "oops, sorry"), but some people would not have been able to restrain themselves from fixing "Referer".

Early versions of HTML5 even attempted to spread the misspelling to the new feature <a rel=noreferer>, for consistency with the HTTP header it refer(r)ed to. But then someone pointed out the DOM API for Referer was already called document.referrer, so HTML5 could switch to <a rel=noreferrer> without feeling guilty about being the first to break consistency.
