Nit: This comment assumes net::HttpCache won't eventually become smarter about
Vary. But it's fine. The real fix here is to implement the behavior where a
s-w-r'd cache entry's lifetime is bounded which will avoid all issues. I would
probably just have written:

// Request headers are intentionally not included in the key for simplicity, as
they usually don't affect caching.
//
// TODO(ricea): Limit reuse of stale cache entries so that, if Vary is used, the
skipped asynchronous revalidation is harmless.

I filed a bug for it and added a link.
