Various sections are still "TBD" but the spec is progressing and no longer defines fake content. Seems worth adding. I was thinking I would remove the "browser" category... but then all browsers have a built-in PDF viewer (at least on desktops) in practice. @dontcallmedom what do you think?

[dontcallmedom]

I agree it's not fully clear cut, but I'd still remove the "browser" category - PDF support feels more like an add-on to a browser functionality.
