so we aren't going to support "trailers as headers" - that has been shown not to work. I would consider taking a patch that supported "trailers as trailers" that didn't have cache implications, etc.. doing that at the xpcom level is pretty easy, exposing it to content would require some kind of whatwg/w3c effort that I'm not aware of and that is largely for the same reasons that trailers as headers don't work - trailers are not defined end to end. In https:// this is more of a theoretical than real problem, so we can probably cope.
