Add examples for X-Content-Type-Options header Addresses issue [whatwg#636](whatwg#636) by adding comprehensive examples to the 'Should response to request be blocked due to nosniff?' algorithm. The examples clarify: - When responses are blocked (MIME type mismatch, missing Content-Type) - When responses are allowed (correct MIME type, no X-Content-Type-Options header) - Different request destinations (script, style, image) This should help web developers and implementers understand the exact behavior of the X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff directive.
