Description
Let fieldValues be the list containing the elements corresponding to the field-values of the Vary header for the value of the header with name
Vary.
This needs to be rewritten on top of https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-header-list-get (or perhaps the algorithm below "get, decode, and split") as this sentence makes little sense.

Research direction
Start with the quoted Vary-header algorithm and compare it with Fetch's "concept-header-list-get" and the nearby "get, decode, and split" algorithm. Clarify the sentence so it precisely describes how field values are obtained, with wording consistent with the referenced Fetch specification.
