The standard does not specifies it's relation to the HTTP RFCs nor explicitly states what should be done in case of conflicts between the HTTP RFCs and the Fetch standard.
The fetch standard is stricter then the HTTP RFCs in several cases and e.g., dictates that a MAY is not to be implemented in browsers or that a SHOULD NOT is interpreted as a MUST NOT
status code 300 MAY redirect according to HTTP but does not in Fetch

...
To do so it also supersedes the HTTP [Origin](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#http-origin) header semantics originally defined in The Web Origin Concept. [ORIGIN]
While fetching encompasses more than just HTTP, it borrows a number of concepts from HTTP and applies these to resources obtained via other means (e.g., data URLs).
The goal seems to indicate that Fetch is what browsers (should) implement and that contradictions with other specifications or options of other specifications do not matter. However, this is not made explicit and could confuse readers.
