Comment(by T(A)ILS developers):

 Hi Mike,

 I like this version better. The smartspoof now behaves as expected while
 doing:

 one.domain.tld/something   →    domain.tld      (blank referrer)
 domain.tld/something       →    one.domain.tld  (blank referrer)

 I'm fine with removing the the special case for www.

 I guess now we'll have to find an agreement on what « not sending the
 referrer » means, as I said before in comment 16. Because the « intuitive
 sense » you advocated in comment 15 doesn't seem clear to me. But again I
 don't consider that a major security issue. Maybe it's personal taste as I
 usually prefer not saying anything instead of lying ;)

 By the way, in the nospoof configuration we're still not sending the
 referrer in most of the cases. It's a status quo from my first report:

 domain.tld                 →    one.domain.tld  (blank referrer)
 google.com                 →    domain.tld      (blank referrer)
 www.domain.tld             →    domain.tld      (blank referrer)
